FYR Macedonia has made great strides in reforming its economy over the last decade. The World Bank has actively supported the country in strengthening its competitiveness for sustained economic growth, improving the business environment, strengthening human capital, improving the transport and energy infrastructure, and supporting the decentralization process. Going forward, the World Bank will continue its partnership with the country through a lending and advisory program that aims to achieve: faster growth by improving competitiveness; more inclusive growth by strengthening employability and social protection; and greener growth through more sustainable use of resources and direct climate action.
