Serbia’s economy strengthened in the first quarter of 2026, with gross domestic product (GDP) growth rising to 3.20% year-on-year, up from 2.20% recorded in the same period a year earlier. The data, updated on 1 June 2026, indicate a notable acceleration in economic activity on an annual comparison basis.
The year-over-year measure compares the first quarter of 2026 with the first quarter of 2025, while the previous indicator reflected the change in the first quarter of 2025 versus the first quarter of 2024. The improvement from 2.20% to 3.20% suggests that Serbia has gained momentum early in 2026, highlighting a more robust growth trajectory relative to the previous year’s pace.
