Dear friends, A powerful signal that Serbia is a safe and desirable investment destination and that it will remain so in the years ahead comes from the inclusion of Serbian dinar bonds in the renowned J.P. Morgan family of indices.

Commitment and strategic efforts invariably produce results and, on 11 February, J.P. Morgan announced its decision to include our dinar-denominated bonds in this prestigious family of indices as of 30 June 2021.
