Montenegro has progressed modestly since the 2021 Competitiveness in South East Europe: A Policy Outlook (Competitiveness Outlook), making positive advancements across 8 of the 15 policy dimensions. Montenegro showed the strongest score increases in the areas of tourism, trade, and science, technology and innovation (STI) policies. FigureĀ 1 illustrates that Montenegro is outperforming the average of the six Western Balkan (WB6) economies across eight policy dimensions. Montenegro positions itself as a regional leader, with the highest score in tourism policy, and is among the leaders in the areas of STI and employment policy. In contrast, it scores below at least four of its Western Balkan neighbours in the areas of tax, energy and agriculture policies, highlighting the areas requiring substantial improvement for achieving convergence with the European Union (EU).
