Overview
Serbia's gross savings stood at 19.56% in 2025, a decline of +1.08% from 2024. The IMF projects 19.56% by 2025. Serbia ranked 97th globally.
Serbia's gross savings rate has experienced a substantial increase over the past two decades, rising from an all-time low of 3.69% in 1998 to a peak of 22.56% in 2023. This growth has propelled Serbia to the 97th position globally, surpassing countries like Azerbaijan which ranks at 78 and Djibouti at 67 in terms of gross savings as a percentage of GDP. However, the latest value of 19.55% in 2025 indicates a slight decline from the 2023 peak. The country's savings rate has generally trended upwards since the late 1990s, with a brief period of stagnation around 2010. Serbia's economic growth and development efforts appear to be contributing to this upward trend, although the decline in 2025 suggests that ongoing economic challenges and external factors may impact the trajectory. A sustained recovery in the European economy, which Serbia is closely tied to, could help stabilize and potentially boost the country's gross savings rate.
