Congrats to Montenegro's @Centralnabanka on its 25th anniversary! Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva delivered opening remarks at the anniversary conference, highlighting the importance of strong institutions, central bank independence, and public trust in an uncertain world.
Estonia is emerging from a prolonged downturn, with the support of fiscal stimulus. But it's too large. Our key messages are to rebuild fiscal space through gradual consolidation while boosting productivity, competitiveness and energy resilience.
