Experience PMR

Bosnia and Herzegovina

Of the countries making up the former Yugoslav Federation, Bosnia and Herzegovina was the second poorest (after Macedonia). Since peace in the region was achieved, however, considerable progress has been made in the country. Thanks to a strict fiscal policy and the pegging of the convertible mark (BAM) to the euro, inflation in Bosnia and Herzegovina has remained low. Investors planning to enter the Bosnian market can obtain favourable legislative treatment, tax exemptions and can also benefit from free trade zones. Bosnia and Herzegovina’s key export commodities are metals, clothing and wooden products, whereas machinery and equipment, chemicals, fuels and food account for the majority of imports.
