Overview
Bosnia and Herzegovina's gdp growth stood at 2.40% in 2025, a decline of +0.57pp from 2024. The IMF projects 2.40% by 2025. Bosnia and Herzegovina ranked 122nd globally.
Bosnia and Herzegovina's GDP growth has exhibited significant volatility since 1991, with a record peak of 54.20% in 1996, contrasted by a severe trough of -9.35% in the same year. This disparity reflects the country's tumultuous transition following the dissolution of Yugoslavia. The nation's growth trajectory has stabilized in recent years, with the GDP growth rate reaching 2.40% in 2025, mirroring the performance of countries like Brazil. This moderate growth rate is characteristic of a post-conflict economy, where infrastructure and institutional development are still underway. The current growth rate is a notable improvement from the country's historical lows, indicating progress in economic recovery. However, a sustained period of high investment and economic diversification would be needed to propel Bosnia and Herzegovina's growth further and to close the gap with more developed economies in the region.
