Serbian National Bank raises GDP growth prediction
The Serbian National Bank (NBS) has raised its predicted annual GDP growth rate from 4.0 to 4.2 percent for this year with low and stable inflation over the next two years, the Beta news agency reported on Friday.
The NBS did not alter its prediction of a growth of 3.5 percent of the Serbian GDP in 2019.
An NBS report on inflation said that year-on-year inflation stands at 2.2 percent.

“The fiscal stability of prices and continued support to government economic policy remain our priorities in the future,” the NBS Vice-Governor said.
