Greenfield investments as a form of investing in the Serbian economy

Abstract

The starting point of the research is to answer the question of whether Green-field investments as a form of investment stimulate Serbia's economic development. The greatest attention is focused on analysis, comparative analysis, statistical analysis, collecting quantitative, qualitative, chronological data and deduction methods. Survey results show that Greenfield investment in the services sector does not bring economic growth and development in the long run. Only Greenfield investments that are invested in the processing sector, and those export-oriented Greenfield companies, can have a positive impact on the economic development of the economy. To attract Greenfield investments, the external environment needs to be improved. The ease and ease of doing business is a positive signal for attracting more investment. Serbia still applies as a country with high corruption, low levels of rules of law, and high levels of administrative procedures, which create a serious barrier to attracting Greenfield investment.
