Report on account of public debt of Montenegro<br />

BULLETIN OF THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE/APRIL - JUNE 2006<br />

REPORT ON ACCOUNT OF PUBLIC<br />

DEBT OF MONTENEGRO<br />

BY 30TH JUNE 2006.<br />

1. AMOUNT AND STRUCTURE OF<br />

PUBLIC DEBT OF<br />

MONTENEGRO<br />

Public debt of Montenegro amounted 644,4 million EUR<br />

as of 30.06.2006. Domestic debt amounted 167,7 million EUR<br />

or 26,0% of total debt while the foreign debt amounted 476,7<br />

million EUR or 74,0% respectively . It is primarily due to ongoing<br />

negotiations and allocation of debt, ongoing negotiations<br />

on succession of former SFRY and impossibility to quantify<br />

explicit liabilities assumed under the Law on Restitution of<br />

Expropriated Property Rights and Compensation that this<br />

amount has not been fully clear-cut. According to current estimations,<br />

no great divergences are likely to arise following<br />

conclusion of negotiations on allocation of financial assets<br />

and liabilities with the Republic Serbia.<br />

In 2002, public debt amounted over EUR 1 billion. It is the<br />

amount which was determined prior to debt rescheduling<br />

with the International Bank for Reconstruction and<br />

Development and Paris Donors Club and prior to final agreement<br />

with Serbia concerning liabilities to the London<br />

Creditors Club.<br />

The largest share of public debt of Montenegro refers to<br />

inherited long-term liabilities of the old system (former SFRY<br />

and SRY). This share primarily refers to foreign debts<br />

assumed by the Law on Regulation of Liabilities and Claims<br />

arising out of foreign debt and foreign currency savings of citizens,<br />

which at the end of June 2006, amounted 404,9 million<br />

or 62,8% of the public debt, mostly loans extended by the<br />

International Bank for Reconstruction and Development and<br />

Paris Donors Club.<br />

Beside old foreign debts, "assumed" public debt is also<br />

1-2 - According to Maastricht Criteria the amount of public debt does not include debts of public enterprises, including the ones with government guarantee,<br />

except it is certain that those debts will be paid from the State Budget or are already being paid, as is the case with the credit of EIB for Port Bar to the amount<br />

of 6 million EUR.<br />
