FX.co ★ Serbia’s Central Bank Lifts Benchmark Rate to 6.00% in November Tightening Move

Serbia has raised its benchmark interest rate to 6.00% in November 2026, up from 5.75% set in October 2026. The move marks a continued tightening stance by the country’s monetary authorities as they adjust policy conditions heading into the end of the year.

The 0.25 percentage point increase, effective as of November 2026, takes borrowing costs to their highest level in the current cycle. The previous benchmark rate of 5.75% had been in place since October 2026, before the latest adjustment.

The updated figure of 6.00% was confirmed in data released on 12 November 2026. Investors and businesses will now be watching closely to see how the higher benchmark rate affects credit conditions, investment decisions and broader economic activity in Serbia in the coming months.
