Sector for Macroeconomic System Despite of the increase, export of B&H is still insufficient compared to developed economies which large part of their consuption satisfy through their own production, as well as below the levels of Central and Eastern European countries. Export is limited to products of low added value that are placed mainly on the EU market. The intensification of the foreign trade of commodity exchange with the world and the increase in exports and imports of goods resulted in foreign trade deficit of 7.33 billion BAM. By industrial branches, the highest growth was recorded in capital production, respectively the production of machines, devices, parts and work resources; then intermediate production; production of electricity, and the smallest percentage is achieved in the production of durable and non-durable consumer goods.

Sector for Macroeconomic System Conclusion: In the structure of foreign trade by sectors, traditionally, the largest volume of trade is realized in the wood and metal sector. Due to the modest production base of mostly resource and labor intensive industrial branches, B&H does not have a sufficiently developed processing industry and becouse of that there is no higher added value of the product. Export growth in recent years, B&H has been realized thanks to the increased growth of export demand and the growth of world prices, rather than a significant structural change within the B&H economy. In 2018, foreign trade with the world continued with a positive pace of export growth. Sector for Macroeconomic System
