Interest rates are established for banks, leasing companies, and non-financial or commercial entities: 

  1. Banks and Leasing Companies.

Example: 4.59% for loans in EUR and 3.92% for short-term RSD loans. 

  1. Non-financial or Commercial Entities. These vary depending on the currency and term of the loan.

Example: 8.01% for short-term RSD loans and 6.79% for long-term EUR loans. 

These rates are a reference for companies when establishing financing conditions among related entities, ensuring that transactions reflect market values and comply with Serbian tax regulations.
