Foreign direct investments (FDI) into Serbia rose by 15.6% on the year in the first half of 2018 to 1.4 billion euro ($1.6 billion), finance minister Sinisa Mali said on Friday.
“The new investments mean new jobs. The economic growth means a higher budget income and a surplus,” Mali said, as quoted in a statement by the finance ministry.
Next week, the government plans to start talks with trade unions on the increase of minimum wages in the country, Mali said.
