Serbia’s Rating In Comparative Perspective

Credit Rating History

Standard and Poor's – In June 2018, Standard and Poor's kept the credit rating of the Republic of Serbia at the level of BB, with the positive outlook for

improving the credit rating. According to the Standard and Poor's the Serbian economy is likely to expand in 2018-2019 with average rates of 3% or

higher, driven by stronger private sector consumption supported by expanding employment, wage growth, and a stable inflow of worker remittances. In

the light of macroeconomic stabilization and higher investor confidence, higher inflow of FDI is also expected to boost economic growth.

Fitch Ratings – In June 2018, Fitch Ratings has left unchanged the Republic of Serbia long- and short-term foreign and local currency sovereign credit

ratings at level 'BB'. The outlook is stable. Serbia's ratings are supported by strong governance, human development and ease of doing business

indicators, as well as a strengthened economic policy framework that has increased confidence that macroeconomic fundamentals have improved.

According to Fitch, Serbia is projected to grow by 3.5% in 2018 and 3.3% in 2019. Investment and household consumption, supported by positive

developments in the labour market, are expected to be the main drivers of growth for 2018-2019.

Moody's – In March 2017, Moody’s rating agency has upgraded Serbia’s credit rating to Ba3. The outlook has been revised to stable. Moody’s decision

to raise Serbia’s credit rating reflects primarily the successful implementation of the fiscal consolidation program and structural reforms, as well as

improved economic growth prospects, recovery in exports, the price stability and further opening of EU accession chapters.

*Estimated

External Trade as (% of GDP)

• Current account deficit in 2017 reached 5.7% of GDP, due to imports

of capital and intermediate goods related to investment activity, as well

as due to supply-side shocks in energy sector and agriculture. In 2018

it is expected CAD share in GDP to remain on the same level as in

2017.

• In the medium term, it is expected the CAD deficit to be around 4-5%

of GDP and to be fully covered by the FDIs.

• During H1 2018 net FDI reached 6.9% of GDP (EUR 1.3bn; +8.6%

y/y). Inflows were mostly concentrated in export industries. CAD/FDI

coverage stands at 128.5% in H1 2018.

Among others, NBS regulatory measures allow the sale of NPLs to

non financial entities and better tax treatment on restructured debt

• The share of NPLs has a downward trend at end-June 2018 it stood

at 7.8%. The continuation of NPL resolution efforts by banks together

with the ecovery of credit activity, should further stimulate the

decrease in the share of NPLs

• Liquidity ratio of the banking system is higher than the regulatory limit
