Economic Reform programmes in South East Europe

Description of the programme / policy

The OECD South East Europe regional programme supports SEE economies in the form of structural reforms throughout the Economic Reform programme (ERP) cycle. The OECD South East Europe regional programme has developed three ERP tools tailored to SEE economies. These tools aim to provide line ministries with a practical instrument that will help strengthen institutional capacities and boost inter-governmental transparency. The OECD and the European Commission jointly organise yearly Regional Meetings of the ERP Co-ordinators to discuss the ERP Guidance Notes and OECD expertise to help prepare the ERPs. The meetings are attended by high-level officials from the Western Balkans and Turkey who play a leading role in the ERP preparation.
