08 April 2025 | REPORT

The report outlines a comprehensive approach to industrial diagnostics and policy assessment for the Western Balkans Six, leveraging a mix of tools including the EQuIP toolbox, UNIDO’s methodologies, and other sectoral or environmental analysis frameworks. It emphasizes the importance of evaluating industrial performance through economic, social, and environmental lenses to support inclusive and sustainable development aligned with the Common Regional Market (CRM) goals. The methodology is evidence-based, uses harmonized international data, and includes cross-economies comparisons. The report is structured to first map the regional industrial policy framework, then assess the impact of CRM initiatives on industrial sectors—both at a macro and sub-sector level—and finally offers policy recommendations for advancing regional industrial growth and cooperation.
