Zero Tolerance for the Grey Economy

The National Alliance for Local Economic Development (NALED) recently held the first meeting of its expert group on the grey economy, marking a new chapter in the fight against one of the most persistent problems of the domestic economy. This meeting was not just a formality but the start of work on an ambitious Program to Combat the Grey Economy for 2026-2030, with clearly defined priorities and the inclusion of all key stakeholders: from ministries and institutions to the economy itself. From the outset, the message was clear – the focus is shifting from declarative initiatives to operational measures for more efficient institutional work, as well as identifying regulations that need improvement. Key areas include better coordination of state bodies, accelerated digitalization, even the use of artificial intelligence, and a more decisive fight against undeclared work and the increasingly present grey zone in online trade. Special emphasis remains on preventive measures, raising awareness, strengthening inter-institutional cooperation, and partnership between the state, economy, and citizens, announced Jelena Mićić, lead advisor for competitiveness at NALED, for 'Politika'.
