Abstract

This paper considers remittances as a source of (foreign) assets that Serbia has been using in the recent years, just like many other countries, predominantly underdeveloped ones. The volume and importance of these assets has been compared to other available sources (privatization revenues, foreign direct investments, foreign loans). In contrast to these other assets, remittances are characterized by stability. Therefore a decrease in the inflow of remittances should not be expected in the near future. This makes it possible to establish measures for a productive use of these assets through economic and development policies, which would fuel the economic development of Serbia. Since a mechanism which would enable a productive use of these assets hasn’t been set up so far, they have mostly been used for consumption. In the upcoming period it is necessary to establish mechanisms that would make it possible to transform the remittances into accumulation and in this way contribute to the recovery and development of the Serbian economy. У овом раду се разматрају дознаке као извор (иностраних) средстава који је и Србија, као и многе друге земље, пре свега земље у развоју, користила у претходним годинама. Указује се на величину и значај тих средстава, у односу на друге изворе који су земљи били на располагању (приходи од приватизације, стране директне инвестиције, инострани кредити). За разлику од тих других средстава, дознаке у основи карактерише стабилност, тако да и у наредном периоду треба очекивати даљи, углавном несмањен прилив по том основу. То у значајној мери омогућује економској и развојној политици да рачуна с приливом ових средстава и да адекватним мерама стимулише штедњу и инвестиције, што би омогућило покретање развоја. Пошто до сада није разрађен механизам који би омогућавао продуктивно коришћење средстава од дознака, оне су углавном коришћене за потрошњу, као уосталом и други поменути извори. У наредном периоду управо је потребно разрадити механизме који ће омогућити да дознаке постану извор акумулације и тако допринесу обнови и развоју привреде Србије.
