FDI inflow in the function of improving economy competitiveness of the Republic of Serbia

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to review the current international competitiveness of the Republic of Serbia, as well as the conditions and indicators of business in the Republic of Serbia, in order to determine progress compared to the previous period, discover obstacles and present ways to overcome them. The paper is based on the fact that Serbia's competitiveness, although it has been increasing in recent years, is still relatively low as a result of a number of gaps and that, among other things, it is necessary to increase the inflow of FDI, which in the past was significant for GDP growth, as the competitiveness of the economy of the Republic of Serbia would increase.
