Serbia’s economic growth slowed in the first half of 2023 as decelerating private and public investment as well as elevated inflation hurt consumption and weighed on economic activity. Full-year economic growth is expected at 2%, with risks to the outlook tilted to the downside. Over the medium term, the Serbian economy is projected to grow steadily at around 3-4% annually, supported by increases in consumption and investment. Foreign direct investment is expected to continue to play a key financing role, while inflation is expected to decline gradually as energy and food prices normalize. Poverty in 2023 is estimated at 8%, down from 8.5% in 2022. The pace of poverty reduction has slowed in the context of weakening growth and the erosion of purchasing power of the poor, for whom food and energy costs account for a high proportion of consumption.
