Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2025, Serbia's households and NPISHs final consumption expenditure (current US$) rose 11.7% on 2024 (from US$55.89 billion to US$62.41 billion).

Across the 29 yearly changes before that (1996 to 2024), the average change was +8.8% and a typical year strayed about 25% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.1 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 88.6% in 2001 and the biggest yearly fall was 65.4% in 2000. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2016 to 2025 the straight-line trend is upward, about US$3.48 billion a year. A straight line explains 93% of the movement over 10 observed years.
