2015 economic reform programmes (Part I) of Albania, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, Turkey, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo: the Commission’s overview and country assessments

In October 2014 the Commission invited all enlargement countries to enhance economic policy and its governance through the preparation of annual Economic Reform Programmes (ERPs). These programmes comprise two parts. Part I consists of an enhanced version of the previous Pre-Accession Economic Programmes (PEP) for candidate countries and Economic and Fiscal Programmes (EFP) for potential candidates and was extended also to include, for the first time, Kosovo(1). Part I sets out a medium-term macro-economic and fiscal policy framework, as well as macro-structural reform measures to directly support the policy framework. In this occasional paper the Directorate General for Economic and Financial Affairs publishes its overview and assessment of Part I of the ERPs for 2015-2017 submitted in early 2015.
