As part of the former Yugoslavia, Kosovo became a separate territory under United Nations administration in 1999, and declared its independence in 2008. By February 2014 it had been recognized by 106 UN member states including 23 out of 28 EU members. Kosovo is a potential candidate for European Union (EU) membership and is currently negotiating a Stabilization and Association Agreement (SAA) with the European Commission. From 1999 Kosovo has been using the Deutsche Mark and, since 2002, its successor currency, the Euro, as legal tender. Kosovo is a landlocked country in South East Europe (SEE) with about 1.8 million inhabitants and a large migrant population based mainly in Western European countries. Kosovo has taken great strides to rebuild an economy destroyed by the collapse of Yugoslavia and the 1998-99 war, with sound fiscal numbers and budgets focused on capital expenditure. In general, Kosovo s headline macroeconomic indicators are also relatively sound. Growth has averaged over 4 percent since 2000 and remained positive after 2008 during the global crisis years. Household survey evidence for 2006-11 suggests that economic growth benefitted all sections of society but the poorest 40 percent of the population saw consumption rise faster than wealthier groups. Public and private investments have made large contributions toward economic growth over the last five years as efforts to rebuild the economy continued.application/pdftext/plainCC BY 3.0 IGOhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ACCESS TO EDUCATIONACCESS TO MARKETSACCOUNTABILITYACCOUNTINGALLOCATIONANNUAL BUDGETAPPROPRIATIONSBALANCE OF PAYMENTSBANKING SYSTEMBARRIERS TO GROWTHBASELINE SCENARIOBASIC NEEDSBENEFICIARIESBENEFICIARYCAPITAL EXPENDITURECAPITAL INVESTMENTCAPITAL INVESTMENTSCAPITAL PROJECTSCAPITAL SPENDINGCAPITAL STOCKCASH PAYMENTSCASH RESERVESCENTRAL BANKCONSUMER PRICE INDEXCORPORATE INCOME TAXCORRUPTIONCOST ESTIMATECURRENCYDEBT LEVELSDEFICIT FINANCINGDEFICITSDEMOGRAPHIC COMPOSITIONDEPOSITSDOMESTIC DEMANDDONOR SUPPORTEARLY CHILDHOODEARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATIONECONOMIC COOPERATIONECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIES OF SCALEEDUCATION EXPENDITURESEDUCATION FUNDSEDUCATION LEVELSEDUCATION QUALIFICATIONSEDUCATION SPENDINGEDUCATION SYSTEMEFFICIENCY OF PUBLIC SPENDINGELECTRICITYEMPLOYERSENROLLMENTEQUIPMENTEVASIONEXCESS SUPPLYEXPENDITUREEXPENDITURE ALLOCATIONSEXPENDITURESEXPROPRIATIONSEXTREME POVERTYFAMILIESFINANCE MINISTRYFINANCIAL HEALTHFINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFISCAL DEFICITFISCAL DEFICITSFISCAL IMPACTFISCAL PERFORMANCEFISCAL POLICIESFISCAL POLICYFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTSGLOBAL ECONOMYGOVERNMENT BANKGOVERNMENT GRANTSGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTGROUPS OF PEOPLEHEALTH CAREHEALTH CARE PROGRAMHEALTH EXPENDITURESHEALTH FINANCINGHEALTH INSURANCEHEALTH INSURANCE FUNDHEALTH OUTCOMESHEALTH SECTORHEALTH SPENDINGHOUSEHOLDSHOUSINGHUMAN CAPITALINCOME GROUPINCOME TAXINCOME TAXESINFORMAL ECONOMYINFORMATION SYSTEMINFORMATION TECHNOLOGYINFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTINSURANCEINTEREST PAYMENTSINTERNATIONAL BANKINTERNATIONAL BORROWINGINTERNATIONAL DEBTINTERNATIONAL DEBT MARKETSINTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTINTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSINVESTINGINVESTMENT PROJECTSKEY CHALLENGESLABOR FORCE SURVEYLABOR MARKETLABOR MARKETSLEGAL SYSTEMLEGAL TENDERLICENSESLIQUIDITYLONG-TERM DEBTMACROECONOMIC INDICATORSMACROECONOMIC POLICYMEDIUM TERM EXPENDITUREMEDIUM TERM EXPENDITURE FRAMEWORKMINISTRIES OF FINANCEMINISTRY OF FINANCEMONETARY FUNDMUNICIPALITIESNATURAL DISASTERNET LENDINGNET REVENUENET SPENDINGNUTRITIONOBSTACLES TO GROWTHPENSIONPENSION SYSTEMPENSIONSPERSONAL INCOMEPERSONAL INCOME TAXPERSONAL INCOME TAXESPHYSICAL CAPITALPORTSPOVERTY IMPACTPOVERTY REDUCTIONPREMIUM PAYMENTSPRIMARY DEFICITSPRIVATE FINANCINGPRIVATE INVESTMENTSPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTOR PARTICIPATIONPRIVATIZATIONPROPERTY TAXPROPERTY TAX COLLECTIONPROPERTY TAXESPROVISIONSPUBLICPUBLIC DEBTPUBLIC DEBT STOCKPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC EXPENDITURE REVIEWPUBLIC EXPENDITURESPUBLIC FINANCEPUBLIC FINANCE MANAGEMENTPUBLIC FINANCESPUBLIC FINANCIAL MANAGEMENTPUBLIC FUNDSPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC INTERESTPUBLIC INVESTMENTPUBLIC INVESTMENTSPUBLIC PROCUREMENTPUBLIC RESOURCESPUBLIC REVENUESPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC SECTOR SPENDINGPUBLIC SERVANTSPUBLIC SERVICEPUBLIC SERVICESPUBLIC SPENDINGPURCHASING POWERPURCHASING POWER PARITYRATES OF RETURNRECEIPTSRECESSIONREGISTRATION FEESREMITTANCESREVENUE COLLECTIONREVENUE GROWTHREVENUE PERFORMANCEREVENUE POLICYREVENUE SOURCESRISK ASSESSMENTSROAD MAINTENANCEROADSSAVINGSSHAREHOLDERSSOCIAL ASSISTANCESOCIAL PROTECTIONSOCIAL SECURITYSOCIAL WELFARESTATE GUARANTEETARIFF REVENUETAX ADMINISTRATIONTAX BENEFITSTAX COLLECTIONTAX EVASIONTAX EXEMPTIONSTAX LAWTAX POLICYTAX RATESTAX REVENUETAX REVENUESTAX STRUCTURETAX SYSTEMTELECOMMUNICATIONSTOTAL PUBLIC EXPENDITURETOTAL PUBLIC SPENDINGTOTAL TAX REVENUEUNEMPLOYMENTUNIONURBAN AREASUSER CHARGESVULNERABLE GROUPSVULNERABLE HOUSEHOLDSWATER SUPPLY SYSTEMS
