Bosnia and Herzegovina’s foreign reserves experienced a modest decline at the end of January, dropping by 380 million KM to a total of 17.26 billion KM.
However, the Central Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina (CBBH) reported a healthy 8.5% increase over the past year, marking an additional 1.35 billion KM.
This increase in reserves highlights the country’s economic stability despite external pressures.
Meanwhile, total domestic loans stood at 25.76 billion KM by January’s close, slightly down by 64.6 million KM compared to December.
Notably, loans to households and other domestic sectors saw growth, while credit to private enterprises and public institutions declined.
The annual loan growth rate of 9.8% underscores continued credit demand, particularly in household and private sector borrowing.
Despite short-term fluctuations, these figures suggest a steady recovery and resilient economic foundations for Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2025.
