Investment Opportunities in Serbia

Foreign Investments in Serbia by Number of Projects and by Country Source: SIEPA

The graph shows that Germany, Austria, Italy, Slovenia, and EU member countries account to more than 50% of the total project number. This only proves the importance of EU economies for the Serbian FDI environment. Norway, Belgium and Russia fade out while United States remains in the top 10 list. French companies, not seen in the value list, now enter the picture, especially with the large number of automotive sector investments. The importance of proximity and knowledge of the local and regional markets is also visible, as Hungary and Croatia playing an important role in the overall project number. Israeli investors are heavily involved in the real estate sector and have quite a few projects in the pipeline, so we expect them to climb the value list in the years ahead. The attractiveness of the Serbian economy can be best reviewed by looking at specific sectors which have attracted the largest portion of investments.
