ABSTRACT

Successful completion of Yugoslavia's structural adjustmentprogramn requires stricter financial discipline to increase the economicpressure on public enterprises to adjust. This paper focuses on twoaspects of the general question of financial discipline: rehabilitationand bankruptcy of loss-making enterprises and interenterprise credit. Ineach case the nature of the problem, the present legal framework, recentexperience, and expected future developments are reviewed.

In 1981 loss-making firms were 7.8% of all Yugoslav social sectorfirms in "economic" activities, employed 4.9% of all social sector workersin these activities, and their losses came to roughly 1.5% of grossmaterial product. The bankruptcy and liquidation solution for loss-makers,while well-defined in legislation, has rarely been invoked. In principle,procedures for rehabilitation are adequate, but in practice they are seldomfully executed. They also appear to provide insufficient pressure toinduce real adjustment by firms. Rehabilitation often involves extensivegrants in aid and loans at highly negative real interest rates. The resultis often more a bailout than a workout.

New legal measures have recently been enacted which should helpinvolve Yugoslav enterprises to achieve the objectives of the country'sstructural adjustment program. But it will be necessary to mobilize thepolitical will to enforce the new legislation and that previously in thebooks. The interlocking system of banks, enterprises and local governmentshas produced a very soft budget constraint on the loss-making Yugoslavfirm. To break out of this self-serving system of rehabilitation

proceedings, it is necessary that they be conducted by an independentagency. The Social Accounting Service (SDK) is the obvious candidate to

perform this function. Banks could also increase the technical assistancecomponent of their loans and the stringency of conditionality forrehabilitation programs.

Use of enterprise-level data and multivariate analysis could help

determine more precisely the characteristics of loss-makers than has beenpossible in this paper using subsectoral level data. Phasing out of pricecontrols and negative real interest rates are also important parts of aprogram to increase financial discipline and promote structural adjustment.

Condense

Si l'on veut que le programme d'aJustement structurel de laYougoslavie aboutisse, il faut renforcer la discipline financiore afin quales pressions economiques qui s'exercent sur les entreprises publiquesaugmentent, les obligeant a s'adapter. Ce document traite de deux aspectsde la discipline financi6re g le redressement et la liquidation des entre-prises fonctionnant a perte et le credit interentreprises. On a 6tudi6dans les deux cas la nature du probleme, le cadre juridique exKistant9 lasituation recente et 1P6volution probable0

En l98l1 les entreprises fonctionnant a perte representaient798 % des organisations elementaires de travail associ6 exergant des acti-vites "6conomiques", elles employaient 4,9 % des travailleurs de ces orga-nisations et leurs pertes se chiffraient a environ 1,5 % du produitmateriel brut. La faillite et la liquidation des entreprises fonctionnanta perte, si elles sont bien d6finies dans la legislation, ont rarementlieu. En th6orie, les procedures de redressement sont satisfaisantesmais9 dans la pratique, il est rare qu'elles soient appliquees jusqu'aubout. I1 semble egalement que les pressions ne sont pas suffisantes pourinciter les entreprises a veritablement s'adapter a leurs strsuctures0 Leredressement s'accompagne fr6quemm.ent de dons tres importants et de pretsaccord6s a des taux d'int6r8t reels tres n6gatifs0 Le resultat n'estsouvent qu'un mieux temporaireO

De nouveaux textes ont ete recemment promulgu6s , qu° devraientinciter les entreprises yougoslaves a atteindre lee objectif£ du programmenational d'ajustement structurel. Hais il fauera amener les pouvoirspublics a faire appliquer la nouvelle l6giGiation ainsi que cemIe qui estdeja en vigueur. Etant donne linterdependance des banques, desentreprises et des collectivites locales, les entreprises yougoslavesfonctionnant a perte n9ont guere ete soumises a des pressionsbudgetaires= Pour sortir de ce circuit ferm6, il faut que lee op6rationsde redressement soient confi6es a un organisere ind6pendant. Le Service dela comptabilite sociale (SDK) est le candid2t tout d6sign6 pour cettefonction.

EXTRACTO

Para que Yugoslavia pueda llevar a buen fin su programa de ajusteestructural se requiere una disciplina financiera mAs estricta, a fin deintensificar la presi6n econ6mica para que las empresas puiblicas efectuenun ajuste. Este estudio se concentra en dos aspectos de la cuesti6ngeneral de la disciplina financiera: rehabilitaci6n y quiebra de lasempresas que dejan perdidas y cr6dito entre empresa. En cada caso seanalizan la indole del problema, el marco juridico actual, la experienciareciente y la evoluci6n que se preve.

En 1981 las firmas que dejaban perdidas constituian el 7,8% del totalde firmas del sector social yugoslavo dedicadas a actividades"econ6micas", empleaban al 4,9% del total de trabajadores del sectorsocial empleados en esas actividades y sus p6rdidas ascendianaproximadamente al 1,5% del producto material bruto. Rara vez se harecurrido a la soluci6n de la quiebra y liquidaci6n de las empresas quedejan perdidas, aunque 6sta esta claramente definida en las leyes. Enprincipio, los procedimientos de rehabilitaci6n son adecuados pero en lapractica pocas veces se ejecutan en forma cabal. Aparentemente, lapresi6n que ejercen es insuficiente para inducir a las firmas a efectuarun ajuste real. La rehabilitaci6n frecuentemente comporta grandesdonaciones o subvenciones y prestamos a tipos de interes reales muynegativos. Frecuentemente el resultado es una operaci6n de salvamento mAsbien que un esfuerzo por resolver el problema.

Recientemente se han promulgado disposiciones legales que tienen porobjeto ayudar a que las empresas yugoslavas participen en los esfuerzospor lograr los objetivos del programa de ajuste estructural del pais.Pero sera necesario movilizar la voluntad politica para exigir elcumplimiento tanto de las leyes nuevas como de las que ya existian. Elsistema de tener bancos, empresas y gobiernos locales con miembros comunesha traido como consecuencia una limitaci6n presupuestaria muy debil paralas firmas yugoslavas que dejan perdidas. Para terminar con este sistemade rehabilitaci6n que sirve los intereses propios a costa de los demAs esnecesario que el procedimiento sea llevado a cabo por un organismoindependiente. El Servicio de Contabilidad Social es un candidato obviopara desempeniar esta funci6n. Los bancos tambi6n podrian incrementar elcomponente asistencia tecnica de sus pr6stamos e imponer unacondicionalidad mas estricta para los programas de rehabilitaci6n.

El uso de datos a nivel de las empresas y del analisis de multiplesvariables ayudaria a determinar las caracteristicas de las empresas quedejan perdidas de manera mas precisa que lo que se ha podido en esteestudio usando datos de nivel subsectorial. La eliminaci6n gradual de loscontroles de precios y los tipos de inter6s reales negativos tambi6nconstituye una parte importante de todo programa que tenga por objetoaumentar la disciplina financiera y promover el ajuste estructural.

INTRODUCTION

Adjusting the structure of an economy to operate efficiently

with higher real energy prices and to obtain greater benefits from

international trade requires both modification of economic behavior at the

enterprise level and new investments. Enterprises must adapt to prices

reflecting new relative scarcities. New technologies, products, markets,

and sources of supply must be sought. While much adjustment can be

achieved without physical investment, often new plants, machinery and

equipment are needed to achieve the full potential benefits of the

adjustment process. On the other hand, inefficient investment, not guided

by appropriate factor and product prices, may hinder rather than further

the adjustment process.

In a market economy, enterprises which fail to adjust to a

changed economic environment are likely to experience losses and

eventually bankruptcy. The prospect of bankruptcy is the ultimate "stick"

which complements the carrot of greater profits which await successful

adjusters. But bankruptcy and attendant liquidation of going concerns have

high economic, social, and political costs. Hence, in most countries

provision is made for "workout" or rehabilitation solutions. Bankruptcy

and liquidation remain as last resorts when rehabilitation fails.

Yugoslavia is no exception. Yugoslav enterpriscs uhich have

incurred losses have had recourse to a wide variety of sources fcr covering

the losses. Among them are not only their own reserves, but also rese::ves

of other basic organizations of associated labor (BOALs) with which they

are linked by self-management agreements (SMAs), "solidarity contributions"

from other enterprises to which they are not linked by SMAs but which are

important suppliers and customers, pooled reserves at the commune and

republican provincial level, bank loans and reschedulings, 9 riteoffs of

debts, and postponement or canceling of tax and contribution obligations to

sociopolitical communities (SPCs -- the Yugoslav term for federal,

republican/provincial and commune governments) and communities providing

social services all without any direct contribution from the budgets of

SPCso1/

In addition, Yugoslav enterprises (and not just loss-makers)

have been able to obtain credit by paying for goods and services wiith

promissory notes and other forms of deferred payment which they have not

always executed when due. Beginning in 1977 the rise in registered

interenterprise claims has been well above the rate of infletion.

1/ Unless otherwise indicated, the word enterprises refers to BOALs, workorganizations not composed of BOALs, basic cooperative essociations,basic organizations of cooperative associations, artisar and other

cooperatives, and contractual organizations of associated labor. For abrief description of the evolution of the Yugoslav system of workerself-management and its specialized terminology, see the section onYugoslavia in the author's "Economic Reforms in Socialist Countries.The Experiences of China, Hungary, Romania, and Yugoslavia," World BankStaff Working Paper No. 579 (Washington, DoCoo The World Bank, 1983).For more details, see the references on Yugoslavia in the bibliographyof that paper.

There has been widespread discussion in the press of the scale of

enterprise losses and the laxity of financial discipline that they

represent. A consensus appears to be forming among Yugoslav economists and

policy-makers that succesful completion of the country's structural

adjustment program requires stricter financial discipline to increase the

economic pressure on enterprises to adjust. To use the term coined by the

Hungarian economist Janos Kornai, the "soft budget constraint" facing

Yugoslav enterprises needs to be "hardened".l/

Table 1 provides statistics on tae extent of uncovered losses

incurred in 1981. Loss-making BOALs in "economic" activities (sectors 1-11

in the Yugoslav classification) were 7.8X of all BOALs, employed 4.97 of all

social sector workers, and the losses came to roughly 1.5% of social sector

gross material product (GMP) for these activities. These numbers appear to

be significant from macroeconomic viewpoint, though not overwhelming. But

the uncovered losses in Table I may only be the tip of an iceberg. Losses

already covered at the time annual financial reports were submitted were

some 26% greater than uncovered losses (see statistical Appendix Table

A1.3). Interest rates charged on loans to BOALs have been well below the

rate of inflation, resulting in hidden subsidies. And given the

increasingly difficult economic situation faced by the country since 1982,

with decreased demand and acute shortages of foreign exchange, the problem

has probably become more serious, though the statistics on losses for these

years were not available to the author at the time the main text of this

paper was written (October 1983). In any case, the meaning of a loss in

Yugoslavia is quite different from that in Western countries, as is

explained in the next section of the paper. This means that comparisons

with data for other countries are risky.

It is likely, however, that without more effective financial

controls and a greater possibility of bankruptcy than has prevailed in the

past, the allocation gains of a greater reliance on the price system, which

is now planned, will be lost. The issue of enterprise losses is also

intimately related to issues of nominal incomes policy, price control,

interenterprise credit (and hence monetary policy) and national savings.

This paper focuses on ttwo aspects of the general question of

financial discipline in Yugoslavia- rehabilitation and bankruptcy of

loss-making enterprises and interenterprise credit0 In each case the nature

of the problem, the present legal framework, recent experience, and expected

future developments are review,ed0 Conclusions and policy recommendations

are contained in the final section of the paper0 A short postcript provides

some information on developments through June, 1984.

Rehabilitation and Bankruptcyf Loae-Making Enter_rises

The Problem

When a bankrupt firm is liquidated assets are generally sold at

distress prices, i.e. at prices far below their reproduction value.l/ The

proceeds to the creditors fall short of the principal value of their claims

and debt is extinguished. The services required in the form of lawyers,

asset-selling expenses and the like constitute a considerable consumption

of real resources which corresponds to both a private and a social cost.

The financial costs associated with the termination of labor and other

contracts are a private cost to claimants, if not a social one. Also,

assets are often sold at distress prices on liquidation, and creditors and

holders of the last shreds of equity in troubled firms receive less than

"fair value" for their claims. For these reasons, these private parties

prefer "workout" or rehabilitation solutions to bankruptcy.

There are additional costs to society inherent in bankruptcy, and

for these reasons bankruptcy law and social practice (including that of

Yugoslavia) try to promote rehabilitation and avoid liquidation when

possible0 An enterprise is more than the sum of its real and financial

assets - it is a going concern0 Its value as such is its goodwill or

intangible assets0 In economic terms, the firm is an organization that

embodies human capital and a technology that of the management of labor

1/ I am indebted to Frank Veneroso for the ideas and much of the languageof this and the following paragraph.

Page 21: Public Disclosure Authorized SWP705...Vinay Bhargava, Francis Colaco, Gregor Dolenc, Marko Voljc and participants in a World Bank seminar for helpful comments on an earlier draft

and capital. In their haste to get their fair share of a troubled company's

eroding assets, creditors in Western countries often opt for liquidation,

even if it involves disruption of enterprise management structures and

production, breaking up a functioning organization that would be costly to

reproduce.

In Yugoslavia, the banKruptcy and liquidation solution for

loss-makers has rarely been invoked and the procedures for rehabilitation,

while in principle adequate, in practice are seldom fully executed. They

also appear to provide insuffienct pressure to induce real structural

adjustment by firms. The Yugoslav rehabilitation often smells more of a

bailout than a workout. The problem, therefore, is how to secure more

effective adjustment by increasing the credibility of the bankruptcy threat

while putting more "teeth" into rehabilitation procedures.

Before proceeding to a summary description of the existing

legislation governing rehabilitation and bankruptcy of loss-making

enterprises, a short digression is necessary to clarify the special meaning

of the losses in the Yugoslav systems of worker's self-management. In this

system the basic accounting and legal unit is the BOAL. While "kombinats"

and intermediate "work organizations" are composed of multiple BOALS linked

by SMAs, all assets, equity and liabilities remain under the control of

BOALs. It is the practice for a kombinat to prepare and submit to the

Social Accounting Service (SDK) consoldiated accounts for the BOALs which

comprise it. Such a consolidation, however, cannot be viewed as an organic

unity, as is often appropriate in considering the accounts of a holding

company and its subsidiaries in Western countries.

In the Yugoslav system, labor rather than capital is the residual

claimant of the surplus left after paying for purchased inputs and services

(including borrowed capital) and taxes. Labor income is not considered a

cost. In principle, capital is own^ed by society, but in practice its

rental value accrues to groups of workers (including managers' who enjoy

its usufruct, except in the case where such workers lend it for interest to

another BOAL, either directly or through the banking system. In this case

the interest income accrues to the group of workers lending the capital and

only any return above the interest goes to the workers actually "employing°

it0

Article 154 of the Associated Labor Act of 1976 states that a

basic organization shall be considered to have incurred a bus_ness loss if,

according to its annual balance sheet, it has not received sufficient

income to cover amounts spent on personal incomes provisionally accounted

and paid out, or to pay statutorily-guaranteed personal incomes for the

accounting business period for which personal incomes have not been

provisionally accounted or paid, or for which statutorily guar-nteed

personal incomes have not been paid.

Thus it is possible for a firm whose workers vote themselves

excessively generous advances on personal incomes (e.g. incomes well above

the average for the activity involved) to incur a loss lacking the normal

economic significance of a loss in most Wiestern countries0 The

(understandable) reluctance of workers' councils to fire or lay-off

colleagues tends to produce losses when demand falls if personel incomes

- 9 -

are not reduced. On the other hand, a loss might be a "programmed" one

caused by economic polices, such as price controls on the firm's output,

which have no efficiency implications for the firm. A loss of this kind

would not call for economic adjustment by the firm in question, but rather

changes in price policy on the provision of some form of subsidy.

The Legal Framework as of April 1983

The basic legal framework for enterprise rehabilitation and

bankruptcy in Yugoslavia is the law on Rehabilitation and Liquidation of

Organizations of Associated Labor of July 1980. This law became effective

on December 31, 1980 and has since been amended three times. The following

is a brief summary description of its major provisions and covers the law

as amended through April 1983. A more detailed description is contained in

the Annex to this paper. The amendments of June 1983 are set forth in

Annex 2.

Three types of rehabilitation procedures of progressively greater

severity are provided for. The first two are technically known as

"pre-rehabilitation" procedures. More formal rehabilitation procedures,

for which statistics are regularly reported by the SDK, apply to

enterprises showing losses on their annual financial reports (AFRs), due by

the end of February of the following year. An enterprise showing a loss on

its AFR must initiate a set of procedures following a timetable specified

in the law. These include informing associated BOALs and various official

organizations, including the relevant SPCs and the SDK, of its situation

Page 24: Public Disclosure Authorized SWP705...Vinay Bhargava, Francis Colaco, Gregor Dolenc, Marko Voljc and participants in a World Bank seminar for helpful comments on an earlier draft

10

and the procedures adopted, establishing the causes of and responsibility

for the loss, and the means to be taken for eliminating the lose. It also

includes adopting a rehabilitation program wihich specifies, inter alia, the

method and deadlines for obtaining funds to cover losses not already

covered from non-reimbursable sources (its own reserve funds, reserve funds

or net income of associated BOALs linked by a SMA on the pooling or labor

and resources, or other sources), and (if the loss was found to be due to

obsolete technology, inadequate productive capacity, a shortage of working

capital, or uneconomic business operations) measures and financial means to

solve the problem.

Requests for funds to cover the loss together with a copy of the

rehabilitation program must be sent to BOALs with which the loss-making

BOAL is linked by a SMA, BOALs with which it has generated more than half

its total revenue declared in the AFR in w^hich the uncovered loos is shown,

the joint reserve fund for the territory of the SPC in which it has pooled

its reserve funds, the compentent body of the SPC, and the compentent

branch of the SDKo In the rehabilitation proceedings funds must be

obtained at least up to the level of the uncovered loss and of three major

types: non-reimbursable resources, writeoffs of creditors' claims, and

rehabilitation credits. If the loss-making BCAL does not cover the loss

and fails to find parties willing to do so (called rehabilitation

administrators) within the time limits established (that is by roughly

August 8 of the year following that in which the loss was incur-..d) it must

submit to the general association with wihich it is ascociated, without

delay, a proposal for initiating rehabilitation with a view to finding the

Page 25: Public Disclosure Authorized SWP705...Vinay Bhargava, Francis Colaco, Gregor Dolenc, Marko Voljc and participants in a World Bank seminar for helpful comments on an earlier draft

- 11 -

rehabilitation administrator. When rehabilitation administrators have been

found, a SMA on mutual relations under rehabilitation must be established

setting forth the rights and duties of all parties concerned, including the

basis and criteria for determine personal incomes for the duration of the

rehabilitating program as well as the method of coordinating positions and

joint decision-making in cases where the workers of the BOAL under

rehabilitation do not act in conformity with the obligations they assumed

in the SMA on rehabilitation. This SMA may envisage that the

administrators participate in the BOAL's decision-making on the execution

of the rehabilitation program.

If no rehabilitation administrators are forthcoming by

approximately September 7 of the year following that in which the loss was

incurred, consultations on a reduction in claims by creditors must be

initiated. If an agreement cannot be reached within another 30 days,

bankruptcy proceedings must be initiated. These may lead either to an

enforced settlement (reduction in claims) or liquidation of the debtor BOAL.

Recent Experience

The statistical material concerning rehabilitation which was made

available to the World Bank mission does not include pre-rehabilitation

programs. Nevertheless, interviews with enterprises and banks indicate

that considerable effort and resources are expended by both enterprises and

their creditors to avoid an enterprise showing a loss on the AFR and

thereby entering formal rehabilitation proceedings. Reportedly funds for

Page 26: Public Disclosure Authorized SWP705...Vinay Bhargava, Francis Colaco, Gregor Dolenc, Marko Voljc and participants in a World Bank seminar for helpful comments on an earlier draft

12

projects under construction are sometimes diverted to finance working

capital for existing activities. This is one of many factors Leading to

cost overruns and delays in investment projects. Indirect financing to

avoid an enterprise showing a loss may be provided when its bank finances

the enterprise's suppliers and/or customers.

An example of a partially successful pre-rehabilitaton program is

provided by the national airlines JATO At the end of June 1982 losses

totaled some Din 780 million, but they were reduced to Din 450 million by

December 31 through a combination of a freeze on new hiring, revision of

flight schedules to increase load factors, an expense control program, and

by holding increases in personal incomes below the rate of inflation.

Seasonal factors may also have helped improve performance0 As part of the

pre-rehabilitation program, JAT launched a study on reorganization of the

enterprise which was expected to result in consolidating its Sia2 BOALs into

one or two, with considerable cost savings through elimination of

management functions and better control over costs, including advances on

personal income0

For all Yugoslavia, total losses as shown in annual financial

reports at the time of presentation to SDK came to 1.6%, 1.3% and 104% of

GMP respectively in 1979, 1980, and 1981 (see Table 2). In 1981 losses

reported were a total of Din 31 billion, of which Din 6.6 billion (21%)

were covered from non-reimbursable funds, as specified by the 1980

More Developed Regions

Croatia .86Slovenia o66Serbia proper .61Vojvodina lo22

The only more developed region with a ratio exceeding unity is Vojvodina0

The undisputed leader in loss-making in relation to GNP is Kosovo.

Uncovered losses for 1981 were shown by 1277 BOALs with 261,634

workers, or 4o5% of the workers in the social sector (including

'unon-economic" activities) that year. The number of BOALs and uorkers in

loss-making BOALs in 1981 were 7.7% and 6.8% below the levels in 1979 (see

Table 2)o

Table 4 summarizes the way uncovered losses for the years 1979=81

were financed in the year following that in which the loss was incurred.

Coverage from reimbursable sources fell from 14.4% of the total in 1979 to

12.5% in 1981. Other BOALs provided an increasing percentage of coverage,

reaching 5.8% of total uncovered losses show-fn on the AFRs for 1981 Another

important trend is the decline in non-reimbursable funding from SPCs and

"other users of social resources" (reportedly mostly communities of

interest). These are healthy trends since they are likely to Tesult in

increased pressure on loss-making BOALs to improve their performance by

workers in other BOALs. SPCs and communities of interect are more distant

and impersonal, and their contribution does not normally take the form of

budgetary allocations, but rather the pardoning or deferral of ax aend

contribution obligations.

The share of losses financed by rehabilitation credits fell from

809% in 1979 to 6606% in l981. This is almost all accounted for by

decreases in the share of credits supplied by banks and by SPCs and other

users of social resources. Again this can be interpreted as a favorable

phenomenon. A caveat is posed by another trend, however, the increase in

the share of uncovered losses shown on AFRs which remained uncovered at the

end of the year following that in which they were incurred. It rose from

4.7% for losses incurred in 1970 to 20C9% for losses incurred in 1981. As

will be discussed below, an amendment to the rehabilitation and bankruptcy

law passed in June 1983 authorizes the SDK to initiate bankruptcy

proceedings for any enterprise still showing an uncovered loss as of

December 31 of the year following its incurral.

Table 5 shows total losses recorded in AFRs for 1981 at the time

they were prepered, investments during l19l in BOALs showing losses, and

the total amount of rehabilitation credits outstanding and disbursed for

twelve four-digit industrial subsectors which had losses exceeding Din 800

million (US$23 million) in 1981 as showni in Table A 103 of the Statistical

Appendixo These 12 industrial subsectors were responsible for 68% of all

losses shown on the 1981 AFRso The average loss in these subsectors was

4.4% of subsectoral GNP, compared with 1o6% for all economic activities

(sectors 0l=il). Subsectors whose losses were more than 6% of subsectoral

GMP were iron and steel (6.7%), non-ferrouo metals (2MM%), manufacture of

chemicals (15.6%), food processing (6.2%) and railways (702%)o Note that

electric energy (106%) was at the average for all economic activities in

1981.

investment in fixed assets in lose-making BOALs averaged 308% of

subsectoral GMP in all industrial subsectors with losses above Din 800

million compared with 107% for all economic sectors. Subsectors with

investment in loss-makers over 5% of subsectoral GMP were manufacture of

chemicals (5.4%), building materials (7.09%), paper (7.O%), food processing

(600%) and railways (1304%).

Whether investment in loss-making BOALs represents modernization

and expansion of productive capacity that will reduce future losses, or

good money following bad cannot be determined from these data0 Investment

in 1981 at the sub-sectoral level is, however, positively and significantly

correlated with losses in that year as well as with investment in 1980ol/

While such a positive statistical association does not prove that

investment is caused by losses or by previous investment, it does suggest

that loss-makers do not tend to cut back on investment.

The provisions of the Law on Rehabilitation and Liquidation appear

to induce loss-making BOALs to carry out additional investment, and the

rehabilitation procedures prescribed by this law suggest that such

investment may not be rigorously appraised for its economic viability. The

workers' council of the loss-making BOAL determines the causes of losses,

which may be inefficient management and/or workers, obsolete technology or

other bottlenecks in productive capacity, and/or the government's price

intervention policies. The self-criticism does not appear to work well, and

the first cause is rarely established. The second cause is frequently

accepted, and the predictable response is to invest further. In the case of

the third cause, the BOAL often chooses to diversify by investment. Since

the decision-makers' (members of the workers' council) jobs are at stake,

the option of closing the facility and cutting losses is almost never

seriously considered.

Rehabilitation credits outstanding and disbursed as of 30 September

1982 totaled 8.4% of 1981 subsectoral GMP in the 12 selected subsectors

compared with 3.5% for all economic activities. Subsectors where such

credits exceeded 10% of subsectoral GMP include non-ferrous metals (31.3%),

manufacture of chemicals (22.1%), building materials (11.0%) and railways

(17.0%). In industry and mining, 72% of uncovered losses reported in the

AFRs for 1981 were covered by rehabilitation credits as of the end of 1982

(see Statistical Appendix Table A 2.3).

Using four rather arbitrary criteria -- (1) subsectoral losses

greater than Din 800 million for 1981, 1981 (2) losses greater than 6% of

1981 subsectoral GMP, (3) 1981 investment in loss-makers greater than 5% of

- 22 -

subsectoral GMP for 1981, and (4) rehabilitation credits outstanding and

disbursed as of 30 September 1982 greater than 10% of 1981 subsectoral GHP

-- the leading loss-making absorbers of resources are given in the

following table.

Table 6 shows that the great majority of enterprises with

uncovered losses on their AFRs (84% for 1981) completed rehabilitation

programs in the following year. Since the Rehabilitation and Liquidation

Law of 1980 became effective the number of BOALs initiating procedures for

fixing responsibility for losses has risen sharply, reaching 38.9% in 1982

for the BOALs showing uncovered losses in 1981. Apparently this was still

not a popular activity, despite the legal obligation of workers in all

BOALs reporting uncovered losses on their AFRs to institute such procedures

within 30 days of adopting the AFRo Even less common was the initiation of

procedures to remove managers. This took place during the subsequent year

in 14% of the BOALs showing uncovered losses in their 1980 AFRs, but only

2% of the BOALs showing uncovered losses in their 1981 AFRs.

Initiation of bankruptcy procedures was a truly rare event,

affecting only 14 BOALs (1% of all BOALs showing uncovered losses in their

1981 AFRs) with 1,306 workers in 1982, the continuation of a decline from

29 BOALs and 7,279 workers in 1980 under the old bankruptcy law0

Banks do not generally provide financial support for a

rehabilitation program if the enterprise in question has not made a

significant contribution from its own resources. The extent to which banks

take an active part in the elaboration, execution and monitoring of

rehabilitation programs varies considerably. In some cases tney make their

own analysis of the causes of losses and insist on strong conditionality,

including reductions in personal incomes, in return for rescheduling debts,

granting rehabilitation credits, or financing new investments as part of a

rehabilitation program. They may insist on use of external consultants by

the loss-making enterprise to help in the diagnosis of econom.!c ills and

the prescription of appropriate remedies. They may participate in frequent

meetings of the rehabilitation administrators to monitor the execution of

the rehabilitation program.

But banks may also be subject to considerable pressure from the

enterprise in difficulties, particularly if it is large and a founding

member of the bank in question0 Bank officials admit that there are cases

when this pressure is strong enough that the bank feels it has little

choice in responding to a rehabilitation program proposed by such a

loss-maker, and consequently takes a fairly passive role in meeting its

demands with few questions asked0 Frequently pressure to accommodate also

comes from SPCs on whose territory the loss-maker is based0 Banks

generally administer common reserve furds at the level of SPCs, and are

expected to provide a recommendation as to their use to the governing

boards of these funds which approve the granting of rehabilitation credits0

The consolidated balance sheet for the common reserve funds of

all Yugoslav sociopolitical communities for 1980 and 1981 may be found in

the Statistical Appendix, Table A 5.1. As of 31 December 1981, total

assets were Din 59.4 billion, equivalent to 2.7% of Yugoslavia's GMP in

that year. Of this total, 79% consisted in credits for the coverage of

losses. The largest source of funds was pooled reserves of BOALs, which

accounted for 58% of total liabilities of the consolidated common reserve

funds. An additional 28% of the liabilities were made up of credits

received.

Interest rates on rehabilitation credits from banks were

reportedly in the 5-7% range in 1982, but in 1983 are on the order of

14%-18%. The interest rate on rehabilitation credits from common reserve

funds is reportedly only 4% for periods up to 10 years, the period being

based on the economic possibilities of the loss-making enterprise.

Investment credits for modernization or expansion under

rehabilitation programs generally carry more favorable conditions than

normal investment credits and BOALs under rehabilitation may receive up to

100% bank financing for such investments, i.e. they are exempt from the

normal requirements for financing a percentage of the investment from

retained earnings. Highly negative real rates of interest and 100% bank

financing may constitute powerful incentives to incur losses.

It is difficult to determine to what extent loss-making

enterprises have actually reduced personal incomes as part of

rehabilitation programs, though in principle the SDK could determine this

Page 40: Public Disclosure Authorized SWP705...Vinay Bhargava, Francis Colaco, Gregor Dolenc, Marko Voljc and participants in a World Bank seminar for helpful comments on an earlier draft

26 -

from the data which it possesses. Table A 202(c) in the Statis';ical

Appendix provides some data on the way personal incomes in BOALs showing

uncovered losses on their 1980 AFRs determined personal incomes, but not on

their absolute levels. This information is summarized in the following

table, which gives the percentage of the total of 1303 loss-making BOALs

using different methods.

Manner of Determining Advances on Percent ofPersonal Incomes T.otal

As per SMA on Association 58As per SMA on Rehabilitation 2Minimum guaranteed personal incomes 5Average of 9 months in 1980 13Above the average of 9 months in 1980 15Unpaid 7

Note that only a total of 7% of the BOALs were paying out the

guaranteed (minimum) personal incomes or amounts specified in an SMA on

rehabilitation0 The mission heard reports that there is no significant

difference in personal incomes paid by loss-making enterprises as opposed

to those operating profitably, but was not able to verify this0 it was

observed, however, that reducing personal incomes may result in the loss of

an enterprise's better workers, and that maintaining incomes at the nominal

level of the previous year may be too drastic a measure to enforce when

inflation is running at 20 to 30% a year0

Developments through June 1983

The Anti-Inflation Program prepared by the Stabilization

Commission in 1982 argued that business losses of enterprises have in

practice been socialized to an excessively high degree with the result that

Page 41: Public Disclosure Authorized SWP705...Vinay Bhargava, Francis Colaco, Gregor Dolenc, Marko Voljc and participants in a World Bank seminar for helpful comments on an earlier draft

- 27 -

their workers are not sufficiently interested in, and are in fact

noticeably indifferent to, business losses.l/ This document calls for

applying stricter measures which would accelerate the process of

rationalizing work in loss-making enterprises so as to cover and eliminate

the losses and further encourage them to avoid operating at a loss in the

future. Among the measures called for applying to enterprises showing

losses on their AFRs are:

(a) mandatory reduction in personal incomes by a given

percentage;

(b) exemption from income taxes and other contributions payable

out of income and from obligations to contribute to the

funds for accelerated development of less developed regions;

(c) reduction in depreciation charges on the condition that

they be offset by increases in later years;

(d) provisions that rehabilitation programs should envisage

eliminating surplus labor by introducing additional shifts,

increasing capital utilization or expanding the production

program, and if these measures are not possible by reducing

the number of workers employed;

(e) mandatory elections for a new workers' council and

management body at the end of each year during which an

enterprise operates as a loss;

28

(f) greater emphasis on solidarity and mutual responsibility of

other BOALs in the same work organization or composite

organization or self-managed community of interest in accord

with the SMA on association;

(g) mandatory sharing by banks in the risks of credits extended

to loss-making enterprises through cancelling interest on

regular credits to such enterprises and rescheduling

investment credits;

(h) reducing or eliminating fiscal and other contributory

obligations of loss-making enterprises to SPCs and

self-managing communities of interest;

(i) special compensation for "programmed losses' of enterprises

which must operate at a loss because of price controls

imposed on them;

(j) elimination of common reserve funds at the regional level and

their transformation into institutions through which payments

will be provided for decreased personal incomes of workers;

and

(k) faster liquidation of enterprises in the event that

rehabilitation programs fail, with due attention being paid

to reemployment of their workers, but only where economically

justified -- unemployed workers would get social benefits.l/

As of April 1983, it was already possible for loss-makers to

reschedule depreciation payments as proposed by the Stabilization

Commission. At that time, a number of amendments to the 1980

Rehabilitation and Liquidation Law were under discussion. Briefly, these

were meant to further strengthen the role of banks and other organizations

that participate in financing the rehabilitation program in the design and

monitoring of rehabilitation procedures and to provide for the possibility

of replacing and recalling managers of loss-making enterprises. The power

of rehabilitation administrators was to be strengthened to enable them to

influence the production and planning decisions of the loss-making

enterprise. Loss-making BOALs were to be required to identify the causes

of losses and to assign responsibility to individual workers, managers, or

management bodies. The competent agency of the SPC and the SDK were to be

informed by the BOAL of these actions. Were the BOAL to fail to determine

the causes of its losses, the draft amendments provided for the

intervention of bodies of the SPC as provided for in Article 622 of the

Associated Labor Act.l/ The SDK which has the power to block payments

1/ Art. 622 of the Associated Labor Act allows the SPC to take thefollowing measures of social protection against an organization ofassociated labor (OAL):(a) Change the business-managing organ;(b) Relieve of duty individual workers vested with special authority

and responsibilities;(c) Dissolve the workers' council;(d) Dissolve the executive organ;(e) Temporarily restrict the exercise of specified self-management

rights of workers;(f) Appoint a temporary organ in the OAL;(g) Order other statutorily-prescribed temporary measures.Measures under (e) and (f) may not last longer than specified by law,and in no case for more than one year.

of personal incomes in excess of the levels established in the

rehabilitation program, was to be authorized to institute bankruptcy

proceedings in court if the BOAL failed to cover its losses within a

specified period.

The final amendments to the Rehabilitation and Liquidation Law were

passed by the Federal Assembly in June 1983. These amendments do not differ

significantly from the draft amendments.l/ Essentially the final amendments

suggest a further strengthening of the role of the SDK (unlike 'in the draft

amendments, the SDK can now initiate bankruptcy proceedings in court for

BOALs in railway, postal, telephone, telegraph, electric power and coal

industries) and provides for the imposition of penalties on BOALs and

lending banks for not fulfilling obligations listed in the Law.

An additional measure under consideration in April 1983 would

decrease the probability of enterprises operating at a loss was a draft law

on the provision of working capital to BOALs. This law would prohibit

investment in fixed assets by BOALs with insufficient working capital.

Likewise, such BOALs would not be permitted to receive investment credits

from banks unless at the same time the bank or other social sector

organization provides credit for the difference between the available

working capital from long-term sources prescribed by statute and for tne

working capital needed for the new investment.

1/ A comparison of the final and draft amendments is contained in Annex 2of the present papero

Page 45: Public Disclosure Authorized SWP705...Vinay Bhargava, Francis Colaco, Gregor Dolenc, Marko Voljc and participants in a World Bank seminar for helpful comments on an earlier draft

- 31 -

As of December 31 of each year all BOALs would have to calculate

their need for working capital, and so inform the SDK and the bank

providing investment credits. On the basis of this calculation the SDK

would be required to inform the bank in which said BOAL has its deposit

accounts and the assembly of the commune in which the BOAL is located of

the fact that the BOAL had not secured long-term sources of working capital

in the required amounts. The draft law provided that tne Federal Executive

Council shall prescribe the manner of calculating the working capital

requirements to be met from the organization's own resources and other

long-term sources of funding, as well as the deadlines for submitting tnis

calculation. Fines would be imposed on enterprises, including banks, who

violate the principal provisions of the law.l/

Interenterprise Credit

The Problem

The control of domestic credit and enterprise incomes depends

crucially on the disciplined behavior of the enterprise sector. The stock

of outstanding credit registered with the SDK that has accumulated outside

the banking system has reached very high levels and reportedly there has

been a significant increase in the value of claims which are not paid on

1/ The Law on Securing Working Capital was adopted in the Federal Executive

Council on May 14, 1984. This law is similar to draft law discussednere.

time, Detailed data on the status of claims against purchaserc for goods

and services sold as of 31 December 19799 1980 and 1981 by inductrial

subsector and territory is provided in TaDles A 60 1-A 6.3 in tLbe

Statistical Appendix. A preliminary analysis of tnis data is g.ven below

after a review of the legal framework governing interenterprise Payments.

The rise in registered interenterprise claims was three times the rate of

inflation in 1981 and continued to increase faster than inflation in 1982

and 1983. These claims represent a significant source of credi4. allowing

enterprises to pursue more expansive wage and investment policies and/or to

operate more profitably than would have been the case in its absence. This

source of credit constitutes an addiLicnal softening of the budget

constraint facing Yugoslav firrms at a time when attempts are being made to

increase financial discipline.

The Legal Framwork as of April 1983

The legal framework governing interenterprise credit is the Law on

Securing Payments Among Users of Social Resources of December 1975 as

amended in April 1976 and April 19780l/

This law specifies that payment between users of social resources

may be secured in four waysg

1/ The Law was amended again in June 19830 See Annex 3.

Page 47: Public Disclosure Authorized SWP705...Vinay Bhargava, Francis Colaco, Gregor Dolenc, Marko Voljc and participants in a World Bank seminar for helpful comments on an earlier draft

- 33 -

(a) a check for immediate payment;

(b) an endorsed promissory note for payment within a period which

may not exceed 90 days from the date good are delivered or

services rendered;

(c) an irrevocable letter of credit if payment is effected on the

basis of documentation established in the contract concluded

between the debtor and the creditor; and

(d) a guarantee if payment is effected within a period which may

not exceed 30 days from the date goods are delivered or

services rendered, except in cases 1-3 above.

Guarantees are issued by enterprises, including banks, in their own name and

on their own account, except that banks may issues a guarantee for

investments in their own name, but upon authorization of one or more users

of social resources who then become liable if the guarantor cannot execute

the guarantee. Banks may also obtain "superguarantees" from other banks to

back up their own guarantees.

A guarantee or letter of credit must be provided to the seller on

or before the date goods are delivered or services rendered (this is called

the date of initiation of debtor-creditor relations in the law), and a check

or promissory note within 10 days of that date.

Letters of credit establish a separate account in the SDK which may

be drawn by the creditor upon presentation of documentation specified in the

letter. They are the safest form of payment from the creditor's point of

Page 48: Public Disclosure Authorized SWP705...Vinay Bhargava, Francis Colaco, Gregor Dolenc, Marko Voljc and participants in a World Bank seminar for helpful comments on an earlier draft

34

view, since the SDK transfers existing funds from the issuing enterprise0 s

giro account to a special account created for the purpose specified in the

letter. SDK will not open such an account if the funds are not available,

Letters of Credit therefore involve no net increase in the means of payment

and cannot be the object of collection on the basis of other obligations of

the debtor. Such special accounts can also be set up to secure payment by

check, but they are not obligatory. Promissory notes may be for up to 90

days and must be countersigned (in effect guaranteed) by ancther enterprise,

which can be a bank. As will be seen below, this involves tne creation of

new means of payment and therefore has implications for monetary policy.

Promissory notes, which are drawn on the debtor's SDK office, may

be endorsed by the creditor and used as a means of payment, or they may be

discounted at a bank or other social sector organization (user of social

resources) as provided by that organizatiorn's statutes0 The SDK pays the

holder of the promissory note on the maturity date, drawing on the issuer's

giro account. If the issuer's funds are insufficient to cover statutory

minimum personal income payments, then the SDK will issue an order to take

the required funds from the account of the countersigner, cherging the

account of the original issuer and registering it as an outstanding

obligation. If the countersigner's funds are insufficient, the SDK submits

the promissory note to a court, informing the creditor, who may then take

legal recourse.

Page 49: Public Disclosure Authorized SWP705...Vinay Bhargava, Francis Colaco, Gregor Dolenc, Marko Voljc and participants in a World Bank seminar for helpful comments on an earlier draft

- 35 -

The issue of a promissory note, then, creates a form of money

which, while backed by real goods and services, may circulate among

enterprises and be discounted and rediscounted (that is transformed into a

more broadly useable form of money, namely deposits in accounts at branches

of the SDK).

SDK statistics on the status of claims against purchasers for goods

and services sold show a category "claims for which payment date was

agreed." This category represents goods delivered and services rendered for

which no payment instrument has yet been transferred from the debtor to tne

creditor and no guarantee or letter of credit issued -- a status which in

April 1983 was legal for up to 10 days after the initiation of

debtor-creditor relations but illegal thereafter.

Recent Experience

Table 7 shows the aggregate value of outstanding claims at tne end

of the years 1979-83. A number of interesting facts emerge from a perusal

of this table. First is the predominance of promissory notes, which,

however, make up declining proportion of total interenterprise claims

outstanding over this five year period falling from 52.7X of the total

end-1979 to 43.3% at end-1983. Second is the rise in the percentage of

total claims accounted for by "claims for which payment date was agreed" in

1982 and 1983. The third is a clear increase in the percentage of claims

for which letters of credit and guarantees were received.

Developments through June 1983

As part of the stabilization program, the Yugoslav authorities seek

to tighten controls over interenterprise credit. The principal vehicle for

accomplishing this was a set of amendments to the 1975 Law on Securing

Payments Among Users of Social Resources which were passed in June 1984.

These amendments were being discussed in draft in April 1983. Among the

important changes introduced in the draft amendments were;

(a) a requirement that seller of goods and services must provide an

invoice or bill to the seller within eight (rather than ten)

days of the time the goods are delivered or services rendered,

likewise the purchaser must provide the seller a receipt within

the same eight day period;

(b) The purchaser would be allowed 15 days rather than 10 before he

would have to provide a check or promissory note to the seller

if he had not already provided a guarantee or letter of credit;

and he would not be allowed to provide a promissory note before

taking delivery;

(c) if the debtor does not deliver an instrument of payment within

the legal deadline, the creditor would have to report to the

SDK within 10 days of the deadline (i.e. a maximum of 25 days

after the goods are delivered or services rendered);

Page 52: Public Disclosure Authorized SWP705...Vinay Bhargava, Francis Colaco, Gregor Dolenc, Marko Voljc and participants in a World Bank seminar for helpful comments on an earlier draft

38

(d) a debtor enterprise w-jhich did not effect payments on time would

be prohibited from paying personal incomes above the statutory

minimum for the republic or province in which it is based until

its payments position was regularized;

(e) after settlement of obligations on the basis of which he has

received a promissory notes a creditor would be allowed to

endorse it in favor of another enterprise as payment for goods

or services, repayment of a credit, downpayment required by a

contract, to discharge an obligation for pooling resources, as

a payment of interest, but not to grant credit to another

enterprise or to settle an obligation to a labor collective, or

he could discount the promissory note with a bank;

(f) the original issuer of a promissory note who acquires the note

prior to its due date could not endorse it to pay his own

obligations;

(g) discounting and rediscounting of promissory notes could be

performed only by banks, including internal banks of a work

organization;

(h) fines would be levied for illegal use of payments instruments

-- including payment by check or promissory note before

delivery of goods or performance of services or more than 15

Page 53: Public Disclosure Authorized SWP705...Vinay Bhargava, Francis Colaco, Gregor Dolenc, Marko Voljc and participants in a World Bank seminar for helpful comments on an earlier draft

- 39 -

days later, if the debtor BOAL pays personal incomes above the

statutory minimum before regularizing its payments situation,

illegally discounts a promissory note, if a creditor does not

report the failure of a debtor to pay on time, etc.

The amendments to the Payments Law passed in June 1983 had minor

changes from the draft amendments. The differences are spelled out in Annex

3. It was expected that they would reduce the volume of "claims for which

payment date was agreed" to Din 50 billion by the end of 1984, but that has

not occurred -- the total was DY 314.9 at end-December 1983 and nad risen

again to DY 412.6 at end-Marcn 1984.

Amendments to the SDK law were also passed during 1983 which placed

that institution in a better position in terms of organizational structure

and authority to carry out the monitoring of inter-enterprise credit.

Conclusions and Recommendations

The amendments to the Law on Rehabilitation and Liquidation of

Organizations of Associated Labor, the Law on Securing Payments among Users

of Social Resources, one the SDK law as well as the Law on Provision of

Working Assets of BOALs go a long way toward hardening the rather soft

budget constraint which has faced Yugoslav enterprises. The legislation

stepped up the economic pressure on these enterprises to increase their

efficiency and more broadly to achieve the objectives of the structural

adjustment program. It will be necessary, however, to mobilize the

Page 54: Public Disclosure Authorized SWP705...Vinay Bhargava, Francis Colaco, Gregor Dolenc, Marko Voljc and participants in a World Bank seminar for helpful comments on an earlier draft

40

political will to enforce the new legislation. Clearly this is a major

challenge, given the laxity with which even the existing laws have been

enforced and the frequent intervention of SPCs, both in investment decisions

and the bailing-out of loss-makers. The interlocking system of banks,

enterprises, and SPCs has ensured that bankruptcy proceedings have been

instituted only exceptionally. To break out of this self-serving system of

rehabilitation proceedings, it is necessary that they be conducted by

independent bodies.

The SDK is the obvious candidate to perform this function. An

amendment to the Rehabilitation and Liquidation Law could provide the

necessary legal framework by requiring that the SDK or extsrnal consultants

licensed by the SDK participate actively in determine the caused of losses,

fixing responsibility for them, and developing rehabilitation programs,

including appraisal of any proposed investments for modernizing or expanding

productive capacity, which would have some minimum (positive in real terms)

economic rate of return to qualify for bank financing0 The SDK would have

to provide a written appraisal of rehabilitation programs which would have

to be attached before they could be sent to potential rehabiiitation

administrators.

If the SDK were to perform these functions it would have to be

strengthened, and this might require technical assistance, new hiring and/or

staff training0 There are a number of consultant groups, such as the

Institute for Industrial Economics in Belgrade, which have some exnerience

Page 55: Public Disclosure Authorized SWP705...Vinay Bhargava, Francis Colaco, Gregor Dolenc, Marko Voljc and participants in a World Bank seminar for helpful comments on an earlier draft

- 41 -

in this field and are interested in expanding their assistance to

enterprises in economic difficulty. Banks might also develop specialized

units for this purpose.

Banks could also increase the technical assistance component of

their loans and the stringency of conditionality for rehabilitation

programs. Even the founding member enterprises may look more critically at

new loans by their banks if there are less resources available from common

reserve funds and SPCs to help cover the losses. But the current ownership

structure for banks does tend to make them less selective in their lending

to member enterprises than would be the case for more independent banks.

The SDK has over 600 offices and an elaborate computer network, and

taus has the potential to collect, analyze, and act upon detailed BOAL-level

data and to aggregate this data as required for supervision at all levels of

tne federal system. It is not clear that this ability is fully utilized, or

that the capacity yet exists at the federal level to directly access and

aggregate data from the BOAL level on up simply by calling it up from a

central computer console. Yet in principle this could be done. As a

starter it would be helpful to collect and analyze quarterly data of ttne

kind contained in Tables A 2.1-A 2.3 of the Statistical Appendix,

disaggregated by four digit industrial subsectors for each republic and

autonomous province as well as for Yugoslavia. In order to monitor whether

personal incomes are actually being reduced in loss-making enterprises, data

on average monthly advances on personal incomes in enterprises showing

losses on their latest AFRs could be compared with that for all enterprises,

Page 56: Public Disclosure Authorized SWP705...Vinay Bhargava, Francis Colaco, Gregor Dolenc, Marko Voljc and participants in a World Bank seminar for helpful comments on an earlier draft

- 42

again by four digit industrial subsector and for each republic znd

autonomous province as well as for Yugoslavia. Use of BOAL level data and

multivariate analysis could help determine more precisely the

characteristics of loss-makers. Among the independent variables which might

'gexplain" loss-making are size of assets, number of workers, capital/labor

ratios, incremental capital-output ratios (ICORs), location (developed or

less-developed regions) 9 and the presence of price controls on output0 It

would also be useful to see whether loss-making BOALs make great..er use of

promissory notes than do financially healthy enterprises.

There is a critical relationship between progress in eliminating

price distortions and enforcing greater financial discipline by phasing out

or greatly reducing the common reserve funds and other sources of covering

losses which are far removed from the enterprises. So long as controls hold

prices below economic levels, it will be necessary to provide some form of

subsidy to the programmed loss-makers. Eliminating price controls or at

least greatly reducing the number of products subject to them, as was

planned as of June 19839 is in most cases a necessary condition for ending

programmed losses. Another important tway to increase financial discipline

and promote efficient structural adjustment is to phase out interest rate

subsidies, including those for rehabilitation credits0 Enterprises should

face realistic prices for capital0

Finally, the whole question of interenterprise credit needs more

study0 Before any further measures are recommended in this arez it wjill be

necessary to look at quarterly or monthly data and better underotand the

- 43 -

seasonal patterns and the mechanisms involved in the different modes of

payment. It will also be useful to see the impact of the new legislation

which should be on the books during the second half of 1983, and to

understand to what extent, if any, claims not registered with the SDK have

accumulated.

POSTCRIPT

The amendments to the Law on Rehabilitation and L.qu :.cc of

OALs, to the Law on Securing Payments Between Users of Social Resources,

and to the SDK Law passed during 1983 strengthened the legal and

institutional framework for tightening financing discipline in Yuzgoslav

firms. In April 1984 two new federal laws were passed which provide

additional instruments for enforcing financing discipline.

The first new law limits payments out of Joint Reserve Funds

(there are over 500 such funds in Yugoslavia) so that cumulative quarterly

payments in 1983 can only exceed the level (during the same periods) in

1983 by 50% of the increase in the retail price index (lagged one

quarter). The second limits personal income payments by loss-making and

illiquid BOALs whether they were in profit- or loss-making work

organizations. The percentage increase in personal income payments by

loss-making enterprises is now limited to 50% of the growth in total

personal incomes per employee in the social sector of the relevant republic

or province, beginning March 1, 1984. A limited number of exceptions to

this provision are provided for, including electricity generation, coal

law0 When an enterprise wishes to make payments of personal incomes it has

to sign a declaration that it does not have unpaid obligationso The SDK is

payments arrears. A creditor enterprise must report twice a month to its

regional SDK the names of enterprises with unpaid obligations to it. The

SDK then must send copies of the report to the regional SDKs where these

debtor enterprises are situated, thus establishing the list of illiquid

enterprises.

Even stricter limitations on personal income payments by illiquid

enterprises were contained in the amendments of the Law on Securing

Payments Between Users of Social Resources passed in June 1983, but as of

April 1984 these provisions were expected to come into force only on

January 1, 1985. They would limit personal income payments by illiquid

enterprises to the nominal level paid in the previous year.

Rehabilitation and Bankruptcy of Loss-Making Enterprises

Legal Framework as of April 1983

The Law on Rehabilitation and Liquidation of Organizations of

Associated Labor of July 1980 provides the basic legal framework for

enterprise rehabilitation and bankruptcy. This law became effective on

December 31, 1980 and had been amended twice as of April 1983. The

following description of its provisions covers the law as amended through

April 1983. Annex 2 compares the Amendments enacted in June 1983 with

those available in draft in April 1983.

Rehabilitation. Three types of rehabilitation procedures of

progressively greater severity are provided for in this law, according to

the seriousness of an enterprise's financial situation. The proceedings

involved are explained in the following paragraphs.l/

1/ For more detail a translation of this law and its amendments is

available in the Yugoslavia division.

ANiEX 1Page 2 of 13

Technically the first two types of rehabilitation are called

"pre-rehabilitation" procedures. They cover (a) enterprises which9, while

not having shown a loss on a periodic (usually for a quarter other than for

January-March) financial report, are considered to have `busTness

difficulties" as defined by Art. 152 of the Associated Laboc Act 2/ and (b)

enterprises with losses on periodic financial reports but not yet having

shown a loss on an annual financial report.

In case (a) workers in the enterprise are required to adopt a

program of measures for removing the causes of business difficulties within

45 days of the time limit for submitting the quarterly financial report

(normally one month after the end of the quarter); inform of its

difficulties other BOALs with which it is linked by SMAsD the responsible

body of the SPC on whose territory it is based and self-managing communities

of interest toward which it has obligations to be met out of: its income; and

submit to them its program of measures0 The enterprise may request economic

and other assistance from all these sources, which are required to rev..ew

the program of measures and consider what assistance they w..ll render0 If

workers in a BOAL do not draw up a pre-rehabilitation program, or fail to

implement it, the management body of the BOAL or composite o.rganization of

associated labor within which it operates and the responsible body of the

2/ Art0 152 of the Associated Labor Act defines such enterprises as these

not able to secure resources for personal incomes as determined by SMAs,or to secure investment resources as provided for by a SNA, or to ensurethe continuity of production.

ANNEX 1Page 3 of 13

SPC have the right and the duty to propose to the workers in the BOAL in

difficulty to adopt or implement such a program. If they do not do so

within 30 days of receiving such a proposal, the competent body of the SPC

must propose to the assembly of the SPC that it prescribe measures to

protect the social property entrusted to the BOAL.

In case (b) the workers of the BOAL must establish not only a

program of measures to remove the causes of the loss, but also determine the

causes of the loss and the responsibility, if any, of workers, management

bodies, and executive bodies for the loss incurred -- all within 45 days of

the date on which the periodic financial report must be submitted. The BOAL

must submit its program to remove the causes of the loss to the Social

Accounting Service (SDK) as well as to the same organizations as in case

(a). Otherwise the provisions are approximately the same as for case (a).

More formal rehabilitation procedures, for which statistics are

regularly reported by the SDK, apply to enterprises showing losses on their

annual financial reports, which are due by the end of February of the

following year.

Workers in a BOAL which declares a loss in its annual financial

report (AFR) are obliged, when adopting the report, to take a decision on

initiating rehabilitation proceedings which must specify:

ANNEX,a 1Page 4 of 13

(a) the procedure and deadlines for establishing the causes of the

loss incurred;

(b) the deadlines for determining the responsibility, if any, of

individual workers, management bodies, and the eaecutive body

for the loss;

(c) the procedure and deadlines for adopting a rehabilitation

program; and

(d) other measures relevant to the rehabilitation procedure.

Within eight days of the adoption of the decision the BOAL must inform all

the organizations, including the SDK, required in the case of

pre-rehabilitation procedures, and also the court of registration0 If the

workers of the BOAL do not take the decisions required, the executive body

of the BOAL must notify the management bodies of the BOAL and other work

organizations within which it operates or with which it is associated, as

well as the appropriate agency of the SPC on whose territory it is based, of

the loss incurred and its size.

No later than July 1 of the year following that in which the loss

was incurred the BOAL must adopt a rehabilitation program which containsa

(a) the amount of the total loss and the amount of the loss not

covered by the reserve funds of the BOAL, the reserve funds or

net income of associated BOALs linked by a SMA cn the pooling

of labor and resources, or other non-reimbursable sources --

all deposited to its giro account before the deadline for

handing in the AFR;

(b) the established causes of the loss, and the measures to be

taken for their removal;

(c) the method and deadlines for ensuring funds to cover the loss

and the terms under which those funds shall be obtained; and

(d) the duration of the rehabilitation program.

If the loss is due to obsolete technology, inadequate productive capacity,

shortage of working capital, or uneconomic business operations, the program

must also contain:

(a) a plan for the modernization, reconstruction and expansion of

facilities, the method of obtaining funds for that purpose and

the terms under which these funds will be obtained;

(b) the amount of working capital required, the method of obtaining

it and the terms under which it will be obtained; and

(c) measures to ensure rational economic business operations.

ANNEX 1Page 6 of 13

If the BOAL establishes a loss in the AFR which does not exceed the

planned amount of the loss in the adopted rehabilitation program providing

for a rehabilitation process of more than one year's duration, it is not

obliged to draw up a new rehabilitation program.

The BOAL must forward a copy of the rehabilitation program together

with a request for covering the loss not later than July 9 of the year

following that in which the loss was incurred to the followingz

(a) the BOALs with which it has signed a SMA on association to form

a work organization or composite organization;

(b) the BOALs with which it has signed a SMA on association of

labor and resources providing for joint liability and

risk-sharing as well as the covering of losses;

(c) the BOALs within the framework of the same work organization or

other BOALs with which it has generated more than half of its

total revenue declared in the AFR in which the uncovered loss

is shown;

(d) the joint reserve fund for territory of the SPC in which it has

pooled its reserve funds;

(e) the competent body of the SPC; and

(f) the competent branch of the SDKo

ANNEX 1Page 7 of 13

The BOALs with which the BOAL incurring a loss have concluded a SMA

on the association of labor and resources providing for joint liability

risk-sharing and covering of losses or with which it has pooled its reserve

funds for covering losses shall, within a period of 30 days following

receipt of the rehabilitation program (that is by approximately August 8 of

the year following that in which the loss was incurred), take a decision on

covering the loss and cover the loss. In the rehaoilitation proceedings

funds shall be obtained at least up to the level of the uncovered loss.

If the BOAL does not adopt and submit a copy of the rehabilitation

program, the competent body of the SPC, together with the workers' council

or other management bodies of the BOAL, must propose a rehabilitation

program to the workers. If the workers in the BOAL do not adopt a

rehabilitation program, the assembly of the SPC may intervene to protect tne

social property entrusted to the BOAL. The competent body of tne SPC must

monitor the execution of the rehabilitation program.

In the rehabilitation proceedings funds must be obtained at least

up to the level of the uncovered loss and of three major types:

(a) non-reimbursable resources;

(b) writeoffs of creditors' claims with the proviso that the loss

in the AFR for the next year cannot be covered by writing off

rehabilitation credits granted to cover the losses in AFRs for

previous years;

(c) rehabilitation credits (which may be granted by joint reserve

funds, banks and other users of social resources) for wihich the

repayment terms may not be shorter than the duration of the

rehabilitation programo

All actions taken in the course of rehabilitation proceedings must

be recorded in a special register kept by the competent SDK office. All

organizations providing funds to finance the rehabilitation program become

rehabilitation administrators. The rights and duties of rehabilitation

administrators and of the BOAL under rehabilitation must be specified in a

SMA on mutual relations under rehabilitation. If the loss-making BOAL does

not cover the loss and fails to find a rehabilitation adminiscrator within

the time limits established that is by approximately August 8 of the year

following that in which the loss was incurred, it must submit to the general

association with which it is associated, without delay, a proposal for

initiating rehabilitating with a view to finding the rehabilitation

administrator and shall inform the competent SDJK office of the same.

Immediately on receipt of this proposal, the general associati;on shall

invite all interested BOALs to initiate the rehabilitation asd shall inform

the Chamber of Economy of Yugoslaiva that the proposal to initiate the

rehabilitation has been accepted0 Tne potential rehabilitation

administrators must decide whether to take charge of the rehabilitation

within 30 days of receiving the proposal, and if the decision is positive,

must conclude a SMA rehabilitation within 40 days of the date on which a

proposal for administering rehabilitation is submitted by the loss-making

BOAL to the general association with which it is associated, that is by

approximately September 17 of the year following that in which the loss was

incurred. This SMA may envisage that the administrators participate in the

BOAL's decision making on the execution of the rehabilitation program.

The payment of advances on personal incomes in loss-making

enterprises from the deadline for filing the AFR until the adoption of a

decision to institute bankruptcy proceedings is currently governed by

republican and provincial laws.l/ The rehabilitation administrators and the

workers in the BOAL under rehabilitation must lay down, in the SMA on mutual

relations under rehabilitation, the basis and criteria for determining the

level of personal incomes for the duration of the rehabilitation program as

well as the method of coordinating positions and joint decision-making in

cases where the workers of the BOAL under rehabilitation do not act in

conformity with the obligations they assumed by that SMA.

1/ This provision was the result of an amendment to the 1980 law. Themission did not obtain copies of the relevant republican and provinciallaws, but these reportedly mandate reducing personal income advances tothe guaranteed minimum (usually 70% of the republican or provincialaverage for the previous year).

ANi#EX 1Page 10 of 13

Within 30 days of the adoption of the AFR in unich an uncovered

loss is declared, the workers of the BOAL must initiate the prccedure for

establishing the responsibility for the loss of individual workters,

management bodies and the executive body. If the workers of the BOAL

establish the responsibility of any of these parties, steps must be taken to

appoint them to other posts and assignments, to recall them, replace them or

take other appropriate action0 The BOAL must inform the competent bodies of

the SPC and the SDK of the established causes of the loss incurred, the

responsibility of individual workers, management bodies or the executive

body and the actions taken to replace, recall or otherwise pun..sh them.

If no rehabilitation administrators are forthcoming within 30 days

after the general association receives a proposal to administer

rehabilitation (that is by approximately September 7 of tne year following

that in which the loss was incurred), consultations on a reduction of claims

must be initiated0 The proposal for starting such consultations must

contain-

(a) the amount of the loss to be covered through a Si4.A on reduction

of claims as well as the percentage offered credi.tors as

payment for their claims including proposed deadlines and

methods of payment of these claims;

(b) the amount of the uncovered loss upon the completion of the

rehabilitation proceedings;

ANNEX 1Page 11 of 13

(c) a list of all creditors with the amount of outstanding claims;

(d) a list of all debtors indicating the size of the debt;

(e) an indication of the amount to which the claims should be

reduced; and

(f) the total value of capital assets of the BOAL.

This proposal must be submitted to all creditors and tne competent body of

tne SPC of the territory on which the BOAL is based, inviting them to a

meeting on the reduction of claims by SMA.

The SMA on claims reduction may envisage the right of creditors

signing that agreement to participate in decision-making on the debtor's

legal affairs and may establish the level of workers' personal incomes in

the debtor BOAL for a period up to the execution of obligations assumed

under that SMA. A SMA on claims reduction is considered to have been

concluded if the creditors agree to reduce their claims to the level

required for covering the loss. Copies of the signed agreement must be

forwarded to the competent bodies of the SPC and to the SDK. If an

agreement is not reached within 30 days of initiating the consultations

(that is approximately by October 7 of the year following that in which the

loss was incurred), the BOAL must notify the competent body of the SPC and

the SDK. If the competent body of the SPC does not take steps under Art.

economic difficulties) to cover the losses, for example by exempting the

BOAL from taxes and contributions or reducing the sems, it shall initiate

bankruptcy proceedings.

Bankruptcy. Bankruptcy proceedings are executed by the competent

court on the territory where the debtor BOAL is based. Bodies involved in

such proceedings are a bankruptcy council (composed of three judges), the

bankruptcy judge, the administrator of enforced settlement or the bankruptcy

administrator, and a creditors' committee which can be formed at the request

of creditors whose claims exceed 50% of the total claims of all creditors0

Two outcomes of bankruptcy proceedings are possible0 The first is

an enforced settlement, which is an agreement between a debtor and at least

one half of the total number of creditors whose claims amount to more than

half of the total claims, if such a settlement is approved by the bankruptcy

council0 This normally involves a reduction in claims, is legally

enforceable, and does not result in the total liquidation of the BOALO The

second is bankruptcy proper, which resultc in termination of the employment

of the debtor BOAL's workers on the day the final bankruptcy proceedings are

initiated, unless otherwise determined by the bankruptcy council, in wfhich

case their incomes are determined by the bankruptcy council at the proposal

of the bankruptcy administrator0

ANNEX 1Page 13 of 13

Bankruptcy also results in the total liquidation of the BOAL,

the distribution of its assets to the various creditors, and its

elimination from the register of enterprises. If any assets are left over

after the regular liquidation proceedings, they are to be turned over to

the basic organizations associated within the same work organization as the

debtor, proportionately to the rights and obligations fixed under the SMA

on association.

a/ Totals may not equal sum of components due to rounding.

b/ Information covers aounts of uncovered losses from current and earlier years. However, some deviations from the actual levels of uncovered lossesoccured during the processing of data given in annual financial reports (AFR) for 1981 for the following reasons:

- AFR data analysis covers all users of social resources whose accounting records are kept according to the accounting plan for OALs (BOALs, WOs,Working Cosunities, BOALs at foundation etc.), whereas SDK Information covers only AFR data of BOALs and WOs of econmic and non-economicactivities;

- AFR data analysis covers OALs wthose AFR were copleted on time, while the Information covers also those OALs whose AFRs were discovered to containuncovered losses through control procedures;

- even if the coverage were the same, differences could occur because of increased or decreased uncovered losses discovered through control procedures.
