Serbie Taux d'intérêt

The National Bank of Serbia left its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 5.75% at its first policy meeting of 2026, with deposit and lending facility rates also steady at 4.5% and 7.0%, respectively. Inflation stabilized slightly below the central target of 3% (±1.5%) by the end of 2025 and is expected to remain near the target in the short term. The domestic economy grew moderately last year, with real GDP rising 2%, supported by robust activity in the services and industrial sectors, particularly automotive. Looking ahead, GDP growth is expected to accelerate in 2026, underpinned by consumption, fixed asset investment, and the “Leap into the Future – Serbia Expo 2027” initiative. The central bank will maintain a cautious monetary policy amid global uncertainty and geopolitical tensions, aiming to support growth, exports, and financial stability.
