The forthcoming 2026 budget is slated to prioritize increased funding for development projects, landlords, and local self-government entities. Finance Minister Gordana Dimitrijevic Kocoska indicated that necessary adjustments are required to accommodate new capital investments and sustain ongoing economic growth policies. She noted that these budgetary adjustments are being made within a context of significant global uncertainty.
The minister pointed out that ongoing geopolitical events continue to influence the global economy, with domestic effects being felt in household economic flows and the realization of the 2026 budget. Consequently, the government has reached an agreement on macroeconomic preconditions and fiscal projections concerning expenditures. The core objective of these proposed changes and additions is to ensure the full realization of strategic priorities while maintaining fiscal projections on the expenditure side of the budget.
This approach aims to balance the need for significant capital investment with the prevailing global economic headwinds. By aligning the budget with these macroeconomic understandings, the government intends to secure the necessary resources to execute its stated strategic goals despite external economic pressures. The focus remains on stabilizing the fiscal outlook while supporting key areas of national development.
