Kosovar child among rubble. The new budget by UNMIK sets out an approach to improve life in Kosovo.
       

The Kosovo Budget 2001 provides for recurrent expenditure on operations in 2001 totaling 743 mn DM (about 356 mn US$) and identifies reconstruction and investment needs totaling 2,826 mn DM (1,353 mn US$) over the three years 2001-2003. The 2001 operations expenditures are planned to be financed by domestic revenues of 541 mn DM and donor contributions of 202 mn DM. The Public Reconstruction and Investment needs are presented for potential funding by donors since domestic revenues are not yet sufficiently large to enable any significant capital investment from local sources.

Considerable reconstruction and investment has been achieved during 2000, reflecting the entrepreneurial spirit of Kosovars and the generous assistance of the international community. Fifty percent of damaged houses have been made re-habitable, and encouraging progress has been made in rehabilitating basic infrastructure, including roads, the airport, the railway and telecommunications infrastructure; in stabilizing energy production, improving water distribution and waste collection; in repairing and equipping schools, hospitals and clinics. However, despite these achievements, the economy remains weak and much still needs to be done before Kosovo can thrive without the external financial assistance of the donor community.

The key priority for the Kosovo Budget 2001 is to maintain progress towards self sufficiency by improving revenue raising and containing overall expenditure growth. The role of the private sector as an engine for economic growth is also highlighted.
