Euromoney’s annual flagship meeting for SouthEast Europe moved to a new home this October, it was held in Belgrade. Attracting over 600 delegates and speakers from as far away as the United States, the Regional Finance and Investment Conference took place against the background of continuing uncertainty about the effects of the global economic and financial crisis. Most speakers agreed that since the last meeting, a year ago in Dubrovnik, the region had stepped back from the brink of economic catastrophe.

Opening the conference, Serbian Prime Minister Mirko Cvetkovic highlighted the continuing resilience of the Serbian banking sector, the commitment of his government to continuing the reform process and to joining the European Union. These were themes that flowed throughout the next day-and-a-half. In between networking meetings – and maybe even a few deals being signed – delegates attended specific sessions on infrastructure, energy, municipal finance, capital markets and banking.

A session on direct investment in Serbia was well attended.
Central bank representatives from all over the region highlighted the difficulties of conducting monetary policy against a background of much volatility. But they also pointed to the successes they have enjoyed in reigning in some of the  excesses of banking and consumer behaviour – lessons that might be learnt further west.

The overriding message from the Conference was that count ries from the region need to continue to press reforms in key areas such as public administration, education and labour markets if they are to ensure their place in an increasingly competitive world.
