There is room for growth and dynamism of the regional pharmaceutical market, showing great potential of this industry. What is really the value of the regional market? What are the prerequisites that need to be met in order to achieve growth? Do existing regulations need to be changed to align the region with the EU? These are just some of the questions that the conference and the invited experts will try to answer. 128113[at]emg.rs Ekonference Wed, 10 Nov 2010 15:15:00 +0000 http://www.ekonomist.rs/en/ekonference/114843.html With the CEFTA Deputy Ministers Meeting, which was held in Belgrade this June, and the Interim Agreement, which officially came into force this year, regional economic cooperation has come even more into focus.

Although savings have exceeded six billion Euros and reached a record level, there is an evident increase in savings over a short term, while the share of fixed-term deposits for a period longer than a year decreased. Besides, citizens mostly save in banks, even 95 percent, while Europeans keep only 35 percent of their savings in banks, while the rest is kept in pension and investment funds and insurance companies. 136732[at]emg.rs Ekonference Fri, 29 Oct 2010 12:00:00 +0000 http://www.ekonomist.rs/en/ekonference/133542.html The forum is intended for innovators from the public and business sectors in the field of information technologies, who would present successful projects and join their efforts for implementation of successful projects from Europe and the world in our country as well.
