In a year marked by global uncertainty, the economy of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina has quietly continued its upward march.
According to new data from the FIA, the region’s businesses posted a collective revenue of 74 billion KM in 2024 — a 6.7% jump from the previous year — while net profits soared by 9.7%, reaching 4.36 billion KM.
Despite a 3.7% decline in export revenue, totalling 9.6 billion KM, and an increase in operating costs (up 6.5% to 69 billion KM), the private sector showed remarkable resilience.
Employment also edged upward, with 371,293 people working across 27,995 companies.
Retail giant Bingo d.o.o. Tuzla once again claimed the crown, generating a staggering 2.18 billion KM in revenue and leading profit charts with 146.5 million KM.
Close behind were Holdina, JP Elektroprivreda BiH, Boreas, and Hifa-Oil. On the profit front, Bingo was followed by Lager, BH Telecom, Violeta, and Premier World Sport.
In a region often overshadowed in economic headlines, Bosnia’s private sector is quietly scripting a story of steady, home-grown success.
