CONCLUSIONS AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS""This paper reviews a broad set of indicators of competitiveness in the Macedonian economy and estimates the equilibrium real effective exchange rate (REER) using different methodologies. Although the REER is broadly in equilibrium at present, structural factors are found to hamper competitiveness. While a more competitive exchange rate might improve short-term export performance, sustained improvements require enhanced productivity and resource reallocation to more dynamic sectors, which depends on reforms to improve the business environment.IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2006/261CompetitionMacedonia (Republic)Balance of paymentsimfCurrencyimfCurrent Account AdjustmentimfCurrent accountimfExchange ratesimfExports and ImportsimfExportsimfForeign ExchangeimfForeign exchangeimfInternational economicsimfReal effective exchange ratesimfReal exchange ratesimfShort-term Capital MovementsimfTrade: GeneralimfMacedonia (Republic)Economic conditionsNorth Macedonia, Republic ofimfCompetitionBalance of paymentsCurrencyCurrent Account AdjustmentCurrent accountExchange ratesExports and ImportsExportsForeign ExchangeForeign exchangeInternational economicsReal effective exchange ratesReal exchange ratesShort-term Capital MovementsTrade: GeneralGutierrez Eva1674618DcWaIMFBOOK9910825688003321Export Performance and External Competitiveness in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia4058414UNINA
