Financial leaders in Serbia have recently convened at major conferences to discuss the stability, innovation, and regulatory requirements of the nation’s economic sectors. During the Fourth Financial Services Conference in Belgrade, discussions focused on the need to transition from traditional bank financing toward more robust capital markets. Marko Janković, President of the Securities Commission of Serbia, noted that while companies often prefer bank loans for speed, moving to capital markets requires higher standards of transparency and corporate governance. At the ‘Key Trends 2026’ conference in Zlatibor, the focus shifted to sector-specific performance and digitalization.
