Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić has announced that foreign direct investments (FDI) in Serbia are projected to exceed 4.5 billion euros for this year, based on recent analyses.
Vučić revealed this forecast during a press conference on Friday, citing updated data from the National Bank of Serbia. “According to the latest analysis for the first part of September, provided by (Governor) Jorgovanka Tabaković, we are currently 12.3 percent ahead of last year’s figures,” Vučić stated. He highlighted that this indicates Serbia is on track to surpass the 4.5 billion euros mark in foreign direct investments for 2024.
Preliminary figures from the National Bank of Serbia show that the country received approximately 2.3 billion euros in foreign direct investments during the first half of the year. The government had earlier projected that 2024 would see an influx of five billion euros in foreign investments, setting a new record following last year’s 4.5 billion euros. This would bring the total foreign investment close to the amount received in remittances, which reached nearly five billion euros by the end of last year.
