CEVES Newsletter July 2026 Dear friends, associates, and colleagues, In our second CEVES newsletter this year, we comment on economic growth assumptions

CBAM — mehanizam kojim EU naplaćuje ugljenični otisak uvezene robe — na snazi je od početka 2026. EU kasni i

The Fiscal Strategy expects GDP growth to accelerate from 2.0% in 2025 to 3.0% in 2026, and then to significantly

Protesti sigurno nisu bili glavni krivac za usporavanje privrednog rasta u prvom kvartalu ove godine, ali su ogoleli činjenicu da on poslednjih godina stoji na sve slabijim temeljima.

Delimo sa vama bilten za prvi kvartal 2025 – koji, pored kratkog pregleda najvažnijih ekonomskih trendova u Srbiji i EU, donosi i naše osvrte na ključne izazove koji oblikuju privrednu i političku klimu, kao i aktivnosti CEVES-a u ovom periodu.

Vreme je da privreda Srbije prestane da bude „plašljiva zverka“, kakvom ju je Forbes s pravom ocenio u svom tekstu od petka. Pod „privredom“ se misli na one koji nisu deo režimske klijentele.

Na isteku tekuće godine, sa vama delimo novogodišnji bilten – koji uz čestitke, nade i lepe želje, sadrži i brzi pregled ekonomskog stanja i očekivanja u Srbiji i Evropskoj uniji, kao i sažeti pregled ključnih CEVES-ovih aktivnosti i partnerstava u 2024. sa pogledom unapred. Koristimo ovu priliku i da izrazimo snažnu podršku studentima i građanima koji kroz proteste zahtevaju da institucije počnu da rade svoj posao – pošteno.

The proposed high level of public investment does not guarantee their quality – neither in terms of executed works nor contributions to GDP growth and improvement of the quality of life, Nemanja Šormaz tells Danas.

A conference was held today at the Science and Technology Park Čačak MSP100 EXPO 2024: New growth agenda for SMEs which brought together the most successful Serbian small and medium-sized enterprises and other actors from the SME ecosystem. This event, held for the third consecutive year, is dedicated to promoting the importance of the Serbian small and medium-sized enterprise sector. Along with discussions on strategic development challenges and recommendations that would lead to even faster SME development, the focus of this year's MSP100 EXPO was on directing key actors towards the realization of more intensive and efficient development support for the SME sector.

In an interview for Biznis magazine, Pavle Medić answers where one should start to „fix“ the Serbian market when it comes to retail of groceries and basic household products. Medić says that the ratio of food prices to average wages in Serbia, along with Albania and Bosnia and Herzegovina, is by far the most unfavorable in Europe.

SVI PUTEVI VODE KA MSP Privredni rast u Srbiji u 2023. godini procenjen je na 2,5%, dok se u 2024.

The European Commission prepared the New Growth Plan for the Western Balkans in November 2023 (hereinafter referred to as the Plan), which should

Germany is a key destination for Serbian small and medium-sized enterprises, and based on this cooperation, the Serbian „Mittelstand" is gradually being built.

In order for the significant investments that Serbia is making these days to be sustainable (both in terms of the longevity of desirable effects and in the context of environmental protection) and to benefit all citizens of Serbia, encourage them to stay and invest here, “pull” those who are not “politically connected” or are even neglected and lagging behind — a Development Plan is necessary.

If it were enabled for the tax credit to amount to 50% of the investment, it would cost the state 300 to 400 million euros annually. That is not a small amount of money, but the effect would be a 40% growth in private investments in the medium term of 5 years.

„Glavne prepreke za rast izvoza u MSP sektoru leže u podinvestiranosti i nedostatku radne snage, a ključni problem je investicioni ambijent“, poručuje u razgovoru za Biznis.rs direktor CEVES-a Nemanja Šormaz.

Suština poruke koju želimo da pošaljemo sa našeg skupa MSP100 EXPO jeste da se mala i srednja preduzeća najbolje razvijaju ako se razvijaju ljudi, a ljudi se razvijaju uz razvoj MSP ako obrazovni sistem radi za njih, a ne za obezbeđivanje posla ljudima sa zastarelim profilima.

MSP sektor, kao i njegovi šampioni, ne uživaju dovoljno podsticajno i ravnopravno poslovno okruženje u svojoj matičnoj zemlji.

Ukupni skor indeksa od 40,1 (od 100 poena) ukazuje da su MSP-ovi na nižem-srednjem nivou razvoja, što korespondira nivou razvoja Srbije u odnosu na zemlje EU.
