Serbia Country Risk Report 20 2018
Growth in Serbia will accelerate in the years ahead, supported by strong private consumption, a more-expansionary fiscal stance and accelerating fixed investment. A more-marked pickup in growth will be prevented as headwinds arise from a cooling of external demand.
The budget deficit will widen in Serbia over the coming years as the government pursues several expansionary fiscal policies. Low borrowing costs will see the public debt ratio continue to fall.
