January 29 (SeeNews) - Serbia's central government debt is currently equivalent to about 48.2% of the gross domestic product (GDP), prime minister Ana Brnabic said.
The country has managed to reduce the debt-to-GDP ratio below 50% which is a great success and a result of the implementation of fiscal consolidation measures, Brnabic said on Tuesday, as quoted in a government statement.
At the end of November, Serbia's central government debt totalled 24.12 billion euro ($26.5 billion), the finance ministry said earlier this month.
The debt was equivalent to 52.4% of the projected GDP for 2019, down from 53.8% at the end of 2018, when the central government debt amounted to 23 billion euro, data posted on the finance ministry's website showed.
