Having achieved high growth rates in the early 2000s, the Serbian Economy was greatly affected by the Global Economic Crisis between 2008-2012 and shrank between 2009-2012. During this period, the currency also lost value. It has a stable outlook since 2018.

Today, unemployment remains the most important problem of the Serbian economy. According to the "2015 Progress Report" of the European Commission, Serbia partially meets the Kophenang Economic Criteria, which envisages an efficient market economy and competitiveness within the European Union.

The official currency of Serbia is the Serbian Dinar.
