Vucic: According to IMF, Serbia could be European leader in growth rate next year BELGRADE - Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on Monday in Belgrade Serbia had registered the fourth-highest economic growth rate in Europe in Q1 2026 and could climb to the third position by the end of the year and added that, according to an IMF forecast, it could take the number one position next year.

"We must find new sources of growth and keep up with innovative technologies and artificial intelligence to further speed up the development of our economy," Vucic said after the opening of the 21st World Congress of the International Economic Association (IEA) at Sava centar, noting that, in Q1, only Denmark, Malta and Poland had been ahead of Serbia when it comes to growth rate.

"We expect to get into the top three by the end of the year because one of those countries is only 0.1 pct ahead of us. I believe that next year, in line with IMF forecasts, Serbia will be the number one country in terms of growth rate. That is what is important to us," Vucic noted. https://www.tanjug.rs/english/economy/261000/vucic-according-to-imf-serbia-could-be-european-leader-in-growth-rate-next-year/vest

Is IMF's cure worse than the disease?
Conditionality has failed the Global South, it may be time to reclaim sovereignty, embrace growth
The International Monetary Fund (IMF), being the lender of last resort for countries in balance-of-payments crisis or in danger of default, almost always ties its bailouts to excessive austerity measures. Its loans are tied, to use IMF jargon, to "structural adjustment programmes" and "conditionality". These programmes centre on raising taxes and/or spurring tax rate reductions, balancing the budget at all costs, devaluing the currency and increasing interest rates. Such anti-growth policies, delivered in line with IMF diktat, have been shown in the majority of cases to have actually increased the country's dependence on the IMF over time. Just think of what has happened in Argentina, Pakistan, Ecuador, Egypt or Ghana.

Since 1980, the conditionality-induced structural adjustment programmes (SAPs) have become a major part of the standard crisis-management and post-crisis economic reform toolkit. According to the IMF, these reforms aim at restoring or maintaining "balance of payments viability and macroeconomic stability while setting the stage for sustained, high-quality growth". https://tribune.com.pk/story/2614426/is-imfs-cure-worse-than-the-disease

Speaking in a televised interview with journalist Ahmad Mulla Talal, Al-Hikma spokesperson Hussam Al-Hasani confirmed that these executive maneuvers fall directly within the Prime Minister’s constitutional authority to fulfill his ministerial program.

Al-Hasani explained that the ongoing reshuffle aligns directly with the administration’s top strategic priorities: enforcing a state monopoly on weaponry, maximizing economic revenues, and restructuring Iraq’s financial management. https://www.iraqinews.com/iraq/iraq-hikma-movement-government-reshuffle-parliament-session-2026/
