Abstract
The citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina
(BiH) aspire to a future of rising living standards. Every
year, thousands of people emigrate seeking a better quality
of life. The country cannot afford to continue losing its
people, and creating the incentives for people to stay will
require meeting their wish for a better quality of life for
themselves and their families. This is achievable, but it
requires decisive action by all stakeholders to address
identified challenges. This update develops earlier findings
and priorities, reviews progress, and employs new data and
analyses. It is structured in four sections. Section I
describes BiH’s current situation, focusing on
cross-cutting, foundational themes and distinct
characteristics that could shape development outcomes.
Section II describes current economic trends and key
outcomes. Section III considers development constraints and
how they can be overcome with respect to private sector–led
growth, physical capital, human capital, and natural assets
and their management. Section IV offers an updated set of
priorities developed in consultation with other stakeholders
to chart a path for strong, lasting, inclusive growth.
