The inflow of foreign direct investments (FDI) from January to the end of September amounted to 3.2 billion euros, an increase of eight percent compared to the same period last year, according to data from the National Bank of Serbia.
Aleksandar Vučić, the President of Serbia, recently, as is customary before official data release, announced that foreign direct investments (FDI) reached 4.2 billion euros for the first 11 months and are expected to surpass last year’s 4.4 billion by the end of the year.
When subtracting investments made by Serbian residents abroad from foreign investments entering the country, it appears that net FDI amounted to just under three billion euros for the first nine months.
However, the capital that foreigners invest in Serbia is aimed at generating profit. As indicated in the analysis by Macroeconomic Analyses and Trends (MAT), the overall outflow of primary income from FDI amounted to 2.43 billion euros simultaneously.
