The decision of the American Directorate of Federal Reserves (FED) on increasing interest rates will have negative effects on Serbia’s public debt increase, the prime minister of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has estimated today.

At the conference "World in 2016" in Belgrade organized by British magazine , "The Economist", he said that “new dollar increase will increase Serbia’s public debt”.

On Wednesday, FED increased interest rates after seven years of record low level for a quarter of a point, ranging from 0,25 to 0,5%. This increase was estimated as a reflection of belief that the world economy is finally recovering from the crisis in 2008.

Since the beginning of the year until the end of November, dollar increased by 13% compared to euro which increased public debt of Serbia for more than EUR 1 billion, i.e. almost 3% GDP.
In 2016, Serbia is planning to indebt in dollars when contracted loan with UAE of USD 1 billion will arrive.
