Overview
Bosnia and Herzegovina's gdp deflator stood at 8.79% in 2025, a rise of +4.66pp from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 8.79% by 2025. Bosnia and Herzegovina ranked 52nd globally.
Bosnia and Herzegovina's GDP deflator has demonstrated a significant fluctuation over the past 35 years, with the most extreme example being the peak in 1993 when the inflation rate reached 7544.81%. This unprecedented increase was largely a result of the devastating Bosnian War, which severely disrupted the country's economy. The subsequent decline led to a trough in 1998 with a negative inflation rate of -2.44%, a rare occurrence globally. In comparison, other countries with similar rankings include the Democratic Republic of Congo, which has experienced a relatively stable inflation rate, and San Marino, which has seen a more consistent trajectory. As of 2025, Bosnia and Herzegovina's GDP deflator stands at 8.79%, ranking it 52nd globally. The country's economy is still recovering from the long-term effects of the war and the complex legacy of the Dayton Accords. A sustained period of economic growth and structural reforms would be necessary to alter the current trajectory of the GDP deflator and establish a more stable economic foundation.
