The Governor of the Central Bank of Montenegro, Mr Radoje Žugić, PhD, received today the newly-appointed British ambassador to Montenegro, Ms Alison Kemp.

Welcoming Ambassador Kemp to Montenegro, the Governor expressed his gratitude for the previous support provided by Great Britain to our country in the process of joining the NATO, as well as for the cooperation between the Embassy of Great Britain and the Central Bank of Montenegro, expecting it to be successful and productive in the future as well.

Montenegro's joining the NATO has significantly expanded the scope of foreign investors' interest in investing in Montenegro, the two concluded, therefore it is realistic to expect further growth in foreign investments, which will contribute to the overall economic progress of our country.

Governor Žugić presented to the Ambassador Kemp the situation in the banking sector and the activities the CBCG implements for preserving the soundness of the banking system and strengthening financial stability.

Ambassador Kemp pointed out that Great Britain strongly supports the development of Montenegro and welcomes the commitment of domestic institutions to processes aimed at stabilizing public finances and strengthening financial stability.

The two agreed that Great Britain and Montenegro have very long and high quality bilateral cooperation and expressed their readiness to contribute, through their engagements, to strengthening these ties, especially in the field of economy.
