Even though domestic and foreign financial institutions foresee an economic growth for B&H, domestic professionals state that there are no firm grounds for these foresight’s.
Namely, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development EBRD and the Central Bank of B&H at the start of the year announced economic growth for B&H, stating that the GDP will grow by around 1.8%, while the CB had an even more optimistic prognosis, saying B&H’s GDP will rise by a whole 2.8%.
B&H professionals say there are no grounds for these announcements and that the unsatisfactory rate of the GDP and its reliance on the export of electrical energy are not grounds for economic growth, especially growth which would be positively felt by the citizens of B&H.
