Serbian economic and fiscal indicators

Overview

Recent data regarding the Serbian economy highlights both state fiscal metrics and private sector savings. As of late August 2026, Serbia’s public debt reached 41.93 billion euros, which accounts for 43.3 percent of the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Although the nominal debt increased from 39.34 billion euros at the end of 2025, its share relative to GDP decreased from 43.7 percent. Approximately 80 percent of this debt is held in foreign currency.

Regarding private finances, the National Bank of Serbia reports that citizens hold approximately 11 billion euros in demand deposit accounts. Financial experts have noted that while these funds serve daily needs, keeping savings in non-interest-bearing accounts may result in a loss of purchasing power due to inflation, suggesting alternative investments such as managed funds, ETFs, or gold.
