Summary

On December 9, 2024 the IMF’s Board approved the Republic of Serbia’s fourth, and final, review under the 2-year Stand By Arrangement (SBA) 2022-24, and a request for a successor 36-month Policy Coordination Instrument (PCI). Under the SBA, the authorities pursued ambitious reforms, helping deliver strong macroeconomic outcomes and Serbia’s first ever investment grade rating. With attention shifting to ambitious public investments under the umbrella of the Leap into the Future—Serbia Expo 2027 plan, the PCI will help the authorities to demonstrate continued commitment to sound policies, sustain reform momentum, and anchor fiscal discipline.
