In a decision consistent with their previous stance, the National Bank of Serbia upheld the benchmark interest rate at 5.75% in December 2025. The unchanged rate persists from November, indicating the central bank's ongoing efforts to stabilize the national economy amidst global economic uncertainties.
The central bank's decision to hold the rate was anticipated by market analysts, who have been closely monitoring regional economic indicators and inflationary pressures. By retaining the benchmark rate, Serbia aims to balance between fostering economic growth and curbing potential inflation, ensuring a stable economic environment moving into the new year.
The confirmation of the interest rate holding steady was released following an updated assessment on December 11, 2025. This consistent approach by Serbia’s central monetary institution reflects its commitment to cautious economic policy-making, ensuring the nation remains resilient in the face of international economic fluctuations.
