CONCLUSIONS""; ""References"" 330 3 $aThe paper reviews key macroeconomic challenges with EU accession in Southeastern Europe (SEE). Most of the countries in the region are years away from EU accession and need substantial progress to meet the key macroeconomic criteria-the establishment of a functioning market economy and macroeconomic stability. The former calls for further structural reforms. While macroeconomic stability is essential throughout the EU accession process, the importance of specific outcomes increases in the last stage of accession, when countries face decisions to apply for entry into the ERM2 and the Maastricht criteria (Bulgaria and Romania). The main challenges with establishing macroeconomic stability in other countries are related to sustainability of their monetary frameworks, risks from rapid financial deepening, and further fiscal consolidation to support growth and stabilization. Most of the SEE countries have room to lower public spending and increase the share of pro-growth spending. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2006/040 606 $aMonetary policy$zEurope 606 $aFinance: General$2imf 606 $aInflation$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aMoney and Monetary Policy$2imf 606 $aPublic Finance$2imf 606 $aMonetary Policy$2imf 606 $aInstitutions and the Macroeconomy$2imf 606 $aFiscal Policy$2imf 606 $aPrice Level$2imf 606 $aDeflation$2imf 606 $aGeneral Financial Markets: General (includes Measurement and Data)$2imf 606 $aMonetary economics$2imf 606 $aFinance$2imf 606 $aExchange rate anchor$2imf 606 $aStructural reforms$2imf 606 $aFiscal policy$2imf 606 $aCompetition$2imf 606 $aMonetary policy$2imf 606 $aPrices$2imf 607 $aEurope$xEconomic integration 607 $aRomania$2imf 615 0$aMonetary policy 615 7$aFinance: General 615 7$aInflation 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aMoney and Monetary Policy 615 7$aPublic Finance 615 7$aMonetary Policy 615 7$aInstitutions and the Macroeconomy 615 7$aFiscal Policy 615 7$aPrice Level 615 7$aDeflation 615 7$aGeneral Financial Markets: General (includes Measurement and Data) 615 7$aMonetary economics 615 7$aFinance 615 7$aExchange rate anchor 615 7$aStructural reforms 615 7$aFiscal policy 615 7$aCompetition 615 7$aMonetary policy 615 7$aPrices 700 $aSorsa$b Piritta$01462127 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788524803321 996 $aMacroeconomic Challenges with EU Accession in Southeastern Europe$93670969 997 $aUNINA
