Understand the numbers
What Bosnia and Herzegovina's economic profile is telling you
Bosnia and Herzegovina recorded moderate real growth in 2025, while the modeled unemployment rate remained in double digits. The latest World Bank inflation observation is older than the other headline indicators, so its 2023 reference year is kept visible rather than being treated as a 2025 reading.
The merchandise account is strongly integrated with the European market. In the 2025 WTO profile, the European Union received nearly three quarters of exports and supplied well over half of imports.
Reading the headline data
GDP shows the current-dollar size of the economy, while real growth measures changes in output after accounting for price effects. Inflation and unemployment add separate information about household prices and labor conditions.
Reading the trade data
Merchandise exports and imports cover traded goods. They are not combined with services trade or treated as a current-account measure.
