The National Bank of Serbia (NBS) announced a forecast that the net inflow of foreign direct investments (FDI) in Serbia in 2012 would amount to €420 million.
An inflow of €1.1 billion and a €680 million outflow are expected, Branko Hinic, director general of the NBS Department for Monetary Analyses and Statistics, said at the presentation of the Inflation Report.
According to his words, the net outflow of FDI in H1 2012 amounted to €140 million, whereas the net inflow in H2 2012 is expected to reach about €560 million.
The net outflow of FDI in the first half of this year was affected by the payment for Telekom Srbija shares to Greece’s OTE and the withdrawal of a portion of Telenor’s capital from Serbia.
