Belgrade/Vienna,
15 January 2008
Assistant Minister of Economy and Regional Development Nebojsa Ciric said today that foreign direct investments (FDI) in 2007 in Serbia amounted to $4 billion.
At an economic forum organised by Euromoney financial magazine, Ciric said that the precise amount of FDI in 2007 will be known in May this year.
He pointed out that the level of investments in 2007 was projected at a somewhat lower level than in 2006, when investments reached a record high of $4.2 billion.
According to Ciric, apart from privatisation receipts constant and stable growth of Greenfield investment is encouraging.
He said that the growth of GDP in 2007 is estimated at nearly 7% noting that GDP per capita in 2007 was $5,500, compared with $4,200 in 2006.
Ciric said that further stimulation of growth and development of Serbian economy will be given by Serbian EU candidate status, which the government expects by May this year.
The conference organised by Euromoney on January 15 and 16 in Vienna gathered over 1,200 bankers, investors, economists, officials, businesspeople and reporters.
