Pre-accession economic program (PEP)

Pre-accession Economic Programme (PEP) is one of the most significant documents that a candidate country for the European Union membership prepares within the framework of multilateral fiscal surveillance.

The aim of the PEP is to determine an appropriate economic policy and structural reforms as well as to develop institutional and analytical capacities for participating in the multilateral surveillance procedures of Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). Therefore, the PEP elaborates in detail the direction of economic and structural policy of a candidate country in the forthcoming medium-term period.
