Abstract

The outbreak of global health and, consequently, the economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic interrupted five years of positive economic trends in Serbia. To preserve economic stability, the government of Serbia took appropriate measures and provided support to micro, small, and medium enterprises. The chapter aims to evaluate the packages of economic measures introduced to reduce the negative consequences caused by the pandemic. The research covers the period from 2015 to 2022 (i.e., before and during the crisis and after the adopted economic measures). The analysis is based on officially adopted economic measures with a combination of macroeconomic statistical data and forecasts from the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Serbia and the Fiscal Council of the Republic of Serbia. The results of the research indicate that the crisis caused by the COVID-19 virus did not cause a significant drop in economic activity in the Republic of Serbia, primarily due to the extensive package of aid to the economy, which amounted to 12.5% of GDP.
