In 2018, the WB expects Serbia’s economy to grow at a pace of 3.5 percent.
The WB also notes that global growth disappointed again in 2015, slowing to 2.4 percent, and is expected to recover at a slower pace than previously envisioned. Growth is projected to reach 2.9 percent in 2016, as a modest recovery in advanced economies continues and activity stabilizes among major commodity exporters.
