Analysis# Bosnia and Herzegovina Current Account Balance
Bosnia and Herzegovina's current account balance stands at -3.9% of GDP in 2026, reflecting a persistent external deficit. The country has improved substantially from its all-time low of -19.2% in 2003, though it remains far from the best recent performance of -1.8% in 2021. Overall, the balance has strengthened by 40 percentage points since 1998, indicating long-term progress in external stability despite ongoing challenges.
The most significant turning point occurred between 2020 and 2021, when the deficit narrowed to its peak level of -1.8%. However, volatility has characterized the period since, with deficits widening to -4.4% in 2022 and -4.0% in 2024. The projection for 2026 suggests stabilization near -3.9%, indicating the country may settle into a moderate deficit range rather than returning to the favorable 2021 levels.
