Ladies and gentlemen, dear guests, I am hopeful that the results we have achieved undeniably attest to the National Bank of Serbia’s commitment to preserving low and stable inflation and a sound financial system in the coming period, as this is the best way for a central bank to support economic recovery and further strengthening of domestic macroeconomic fundamentals.
In a few moments, my colleagues from the Directorate for Economic Research and Statistics will inform you about the details of our latest projections, but I too would like to underline that Serbia’s macroeconomic outlook is even more favourable than it was when we last met in May. We expect economic growth to accelerate to 2.5% this and 3% next year.
