These agencies particularly underlined years-long preservation of price stability and significant improvement in Serbia’s external position, as well as increased resilience to external shocks, owing to strong exports growth. S&P estimates that inflation is likely to stay within the 3±1.5% target band in the medium-term and expects the current account deficit to remain at a sustainable level over the medium-run as well.
