Abstract

AbstractThis chapter provides the macroeconomic context within which other chapters analyse agrifood issues and the consequences of the Serbia's accession to the EU. After a brief overview of Serbia and its economy in section 2.2, section 2.3 gives information on the economic growth, inflation, employment, exchanges rates, trade and the balance of payments on the current account and external debt. Section 2.4 provides information on the size of the economy and section 2.5 analyses inter-household and regional income distribution in some detail, since large regional differences in income in an acceding country have implications for targeting EU structural and rural policy. A related issue is poverty and this section also provides information on the size and importance of poverty in Serbia.
