Serbia's gross domestic product grew 4.0 percent in real terms in the third quarter of 2026 compared with the same quarter of 2025, according to a preliminary flash estimate.
- The flash estimate was published by the Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia (RZS) on Monday.
- The 4.0 percent figure is adjusted for price changes, so it reflects growth in output volume rather than inflation.
- The flash release gave no breakdown by sector or expenditure component.
- A detailed third-quarter GDP calculation is scheduled for November 30 and may revise the figure.
Serbia's gross domestic product (GDP) rose by 4.0 percent in real terms in the third quarter of 2026, compared with the same quarter of 2025. The figure comes from a flash estimate published on Monday by the Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia (RZS).
Real terms means that the figure is adjusted for price changes, so it reflects the growth in the volume of goods and services produced rather than the effect of inflation. A flash estimate is a first, preliminary calculation released shortly after the end of a quarter, and it can be revised when more complete data become available.
The statistical office did not give a breakdown by sector or by expenditure component in the flash release. It said a more detailed GDP calculation for the third quarter of 2026, performed at lower aggregation levels, will be published on November 30.
What to watch next
- November 30: the RZS is due to publish the detailed third-quarter GDP data, which should show which sectors and spending categories drove the growth.
- Possible revisions: the 4.0 percent figure is preliminary, and the more detailed calculation may change it.
