Republic of Kosovo: 2026 Article IV Consultation-Press Release; Staff Report; and Statement by the Executive Director for the Republic of Kosovo

International Monetary Fund

No 2026/079, IMF Staff Country Reports from International Monetary Fund

Abstract: Even though a year-long political stalemate ended with the formation of a new government in February, Kosovo could be heading toward another phase of political uncertainty following the parliament’s failure to elect a new national president on March 5. The newly constituted parliament ratified key international financing agreements pending since 2024 and adopted the 2026 budget, averting a government shutdown. The prolonged impasse held back much-needed reforms to accelerate income convergence with the EU.
