ECONOMIC MEASURES OF SERBIA AGAINST THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Abstract

An explosion of a coronavirus called COVID-19 has deranged the economy around the world. Due to the pandemic, there is great uncertainty regarding economic trends. Economic policy measures adopted by states should reduce uncertainty. When we talk about economic measures, we primarily look at helping the economy, the financial sector, and the population. However, it should be borne in mind that today we are facing an atypical crisis whereas the consequence we have is a reduced supply due to the measures adopted by the states, which primarily relate to the limited movement that affects business activity. The aim of the research in this paper is the economic measures adopted by the Republic of Serbia in the action against the consequences caused by COVID-19. Specifically, the paper discusses various packages of economic policy measures to minimize the negative effects caused by COVID-19 and provide support to the economy of Serbia.
