INVESTMENTS IN MONTENEGRO

Montenegro became independent in 2006 when he became the 192nd Member of the United Nations. Overall, the economy is in a transitional phase, however, is characterized strongly as agricultural, by a strong industry development, especially over the last years.
Unemployment and regional inequalities are major political and economic problems for the country's development.
Montenegro has privatized a large aluminum complex - the dominant industry - as well as more services of the financial sector, and the country has begun to attract important foreign direct investment in tourism.
The global financial crisis had a significant negative impact on the economy due to the continuing credit crisis, the reduced activity of the real estate and the fall in exports of aluminum.

The real estate market, which had attracted the interest mainly of Russians investors and the touristic foreign currency has been, until recently, the drivers of the local economy. Tourism continues to go well, but the real estate market seems to be blocked, as a result of the continuing decline in property prices.
Finally, a bank of Greek interests is active in the country.

Do you know that...

  • In Serbia there are attractive companies for sale. They are in the list of Privatization Agency but also at the Belgrade Stock Exchange. The list is long, unfortunately much longer than number of potential investors. The crisis has left its mark. Until so far Serbia has cashed EUR 2.3 billions from sale of 1,643 enterprises. It is not known how much more it could get from further sales, but among 650 companies in the list of Privatization Agency there are still attractive firms.
