Yugoslavia: Internal Economic Situation in Yugoslavia

A file of correspondence and reports concerning the economic situation in Yugoslavia. The documents cover discussions between British and Yugoslav officials on the country's economic situation; and the introduction of new economic measures, including the devaluation of the dinar, restrictions on energy consumption, and a new law on foreign currency. Other documents in the file discuss the Yugoslav balance of payments; Yugoslav attempts to obtain loans from British commercial banks; the economic situation in Croatia; meetings and plenums of the Yugoslav government on the current economic situation; and the successes of the Yugoslav agricultural sector. The file also includes a report titled "Yugoslav Economy and Options for the West", outlining Yugoslav performance under an International Monetary Fund (I.M.F.) programme for 1981–1982, the prospects for 1983, the rescheduling of Yugoslav debt, the provision of new credits for Yugoslavia, and the possible introduction of a more restrictive I.M.F. programme.
