Inflation Rate (CPI): Bosnia and Herzegovina

Analysis# Bosnia and Herzegovina Inflation Rate (CPI) Bosnia and Herzegovina's inflation rate stands at 2.6% in 2026, a sharp decline from the 14% peak recorded in 2022. The current level remains substantially below the country's all-time low of -11.7% in 1996, achieved during the post-war economic contraction. Since 1995, the inflation rate has fallen 79.8 percentage points overall, reflecting the economy's stabilization following decades of volatility tied to regional conflict and transition. The most striking shift occurred between 2021 and 2022, when inflation surged from 2% to 14%—a sevenfold jump driven by global commodity shocks and supply disruptions. The subsequent correction has been steep: inflation dropped to 6.1% by 2023 and 1.7% by 2024. The 2025-2026 pattern shows moderate stabilization around 2.6-4%, suggesting the country's inflation dynamics have normalized after the recent external shock.
