Summarizing the results from last year, Brnabic said that we significantly reduced the public debt, we have a stable dinar exchange rate and inflation within the planned framework.

The Serbian government made great strides in improving business conditions, for which we received the acknowledgments from the largest international institutions, including the World Bank, which declared Serbia the leader in the implementation of reforms in Southeast Europe.

At the end of the year, the total balance of foreign direct investment amounted to EUR 2.6 billion.

"We have introduced tax incentives for entrepreneurs, and we will continue to work on that," the prime minister underlined.

According to her, the budget for this year is focused on development, with RSD 128.8 billion for capital investments, of which more than 40 percent is planned for transport infrastructure projects.
