  • [11] Figures linked to Romanian economy in the red following conflict in Yugoslavia Experts of the World Economy Institute in Bucharest worked out a study reading that losses of Romanian economy brought about by war in Yugoslavia are not only the effect of blocking contracts with companies in that country but are also due to the lack of security of the zone, reports ANTENNA ONE TV.Experts of the IMF estimate that Romanian economy will score a 2 per cent decrease of the PIB - Home Gross Production- in the wake of the war in Yugoslavia.
