The MINISTER of finance, Siniša Mali, spoke about the budget proposal for 2025, emphasizing that for the first time, Serbia has a budget as a country with an investment credit rating, with record allocations for capital investments and an increase in salaries and pensions.
Mali said that the budget proposal for 2025 is the first proposed by Serbia as a country with an investment credit rating, after the Standard and Poor’s agency raised Serbia’s credit rating to BBB- in October.
– This is a historic moment for Serbia, because for the first time in our history we are ranked among the countries with an investment grade credit rating – said Mali.
He pointed out that the budget for 2025 is focused on record allocations for capital investments, increases in salaries, pensions and minimum wages, as well as on the integration of the green budget, making Serbia one of the few countries that apply this concept in the budget process.
The minister added that from next year, consultations with citizens will be launched in order to include them in the process of drafting the budget for 2026.
