Serbia eyes GDP near 100 billion euros by 2027 amid growth and geopolitics

Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić outlined a vision in which Serbia’s GDP could surpass 90 billion euros by 2027, based on current growth trajectories. This assessment was reported by RIA News. In his remarks, he noted that Serbia’s GDP in 2012 stood around 33 billion euros, and he cited estimates from the International Monetary Fund indicating a potential rise to about 92.7 billion euros by 2027.
Vučić stressed that with more favorable global conditions and increased investment inflows, Serbia might push its GDP toward the 100 billion euro mark.
Earlier, Vučić indicated that the Russia-Ukraine conflict was contributing to economic slowdowns in Germany and creating broader challenges for Europe and China. He suggested that these global dynamics could influence Serbia’s economic outlook as well.
He also asserted that Serbia would not bow to external pressure when it comes to sanctions against Russia. In a subsequent remark, the Serbian leader commented on statements by the unrecognized Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti about the difficulty of separating Belgrade from Moscow without strong cooperation.
In a separate angle, Vučić spoke about the potential for political change in Serbia and the risks associated with any violent transfer of power. The overall message emphasized a focus on economic growth, resilience in the face of geopolitical pressure, and a determination to pursue Serbia’s development path regardless of external forces.
