image of Government at a Glance: Western Balkans

Government at a Glance: Western Balkans presents information on public governance in the Western Balkan region – covering Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Serbia, and compares it to OECD and OECD-EU countries. This first regional edition features 40 indicators on public finance, public employment, centre of government, budgeting practices and procedures, human resources management, public procurement, digital government, core government results and serving citizens. Governance indicators provide important benchmarks on public administration systems, practices and performance. Indicators are presented in a user-friendly format using charts, with brief descriptive analyses of the major findings, and a methodological section on the definition of the indicator and any limitations in data comparability.

General government gross debt

Debt is incurred when governments spend more than they receive in revenue. Comparing the levels of public debt (i.e. general government gross debt) between Western Balkan, OECD and EU economies reveals how vulnerable countries are to rollover risks and economic shocks. Debt interest payments also divert away resources from growth-inducing spending, such as investment and redistribution. Debt levels are increasing in the Western Balkan region largely due to governments undertaking investments in infrastructure.
