Serbia Keeps Benchmark Rate Steady at 5.75% in May as Tight Policy Persists

Serbia’s central bank left its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 5.75% in May 2026, maintaining the level set in April 2026. The decision indicates that policymakers are holding to a tight monetary stance, with no change in borrowing costs month-on-month.

The steady rate suggests that, as of the latest data update on 07 May 2026, Serbian authorities see no immediate need to either tighten further or begin easing policy. Market participants and businesses will likely continue to monitor upcoming economic indicators for clues on when the current 5.75% benchmark might begin to shift.
