• Summary
• Continued high assistance flows, associated with
  major shifts
  
• Shift from bilateral donors and EC to
  international financial institutions.
  
• Less grants, more loans.
• Dynamic loan development in EU Candidate
  Countries in SEE flat pattern in the other
  countries.
  
• Decline in grant assistance to Potential
  Candidate Countries / PRSP Countries, partly
  because of phasing out of reconstruction
  assistance.Increase in accession countries.
• Continuous decline of per capita grant assistance
  to the less advanced countries, in 2005 expected
  to be lower than per capita grant assistance to
  the more advanced countries.
