The report added that Serbia takes over the position as the index leader from Mozambique, up one position from the previous year.
Automotive components, food and tobacco, textiles and real estate are Serbia’s leading FDI sectors, and combined they accounted for more than half (54%) of total inbound FDI projects in 2018.
