Overview
Bosnia and Herzegovina's exchange rate stood at 1.87 in 2025, a rise of +0.06 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 1.87 by 2025. Bosnia and Herzegovina ranked 141st globally.
Bosnia and Herzegovina’s exchange rate has shown modest volatility over the 29‑year series, moving from 1.73 in 1997 to a recent 1.87 in 2025, which places the country 141st globally and aligns it with Bulgaria’s identical 1.87 level. The all‑time peak of 2.19 occurred in 2001, reflecting a period of relative depreciation, while the trough of 1.34 in 2008 marked the strongest real‑effective value during the global financial crisis. Since the 2008 low, the rate has gradually risen, stabilising around the mid‑1.8s after a brief post‑crisis rebound. Compared with peers such as Aruba (1.79) and Curaçao (1.79), Bosnia and Herzegovina’s currency remains slightly weaker, suggesting persistent external imbalances. Continued fiscal consolidation and deeper integration with European markets could tighten the exchange rate further, while any external shock or divergence in monetary policy may reverse the recent stabilising trend.
