In the medium run, expanded export capacities, along with the expected reduction of the negative impact of external demand and unfavourable terms of trade, should contribute to a gradual narrowing of the current account deficit and preservation of the country’s external sustainability. The continuation of a relatively high inflow of FDIs to Serbia will also contribute to external sustainability.
The FDI inflow this year is projected to around EUR 3.4 bn (or EUR 3.3 bn net), which is close to expectations for the coming years as well.
