Today, at Finance Think, we held a meeting with representatives of the International Monetary Fund, where the focus was placed not only on current economic developments, but also on their analytical #interpretation and the #risks ahead.

📈 Inflation and its outlook were at the center of the discussion. Drawing on our latest analyses and model-based calculations, we examined the effects of energy shocks and possible scenarios for the Macedonian economy. The discussion also extended to broader structural issues – the fiscal position and its role in cushioning shocks, conditions and tensions in the labour market, challenges related to the informal economy, and the implications for productivity and long-term growth.

The focus was on what the #numbers mean and what comes next – that is, how current trends translate into policies and economic expectations.

🤝 We see cooperation with the IMF as an important channel for validating and advancing our analytical approaches, with the aim of better understanding economic risks and supporting informed policymaking.
