10. Foreign trade chamber of BiH
Foreign trade of BiH in the last 5 years
- continues a positive trend of export growth.
- while imports are increasing at the same time
- so that the foreign trade deficit remains negative..
Bosnia and Herzegovina needs a system of legislative regulations that would improve the business environment through systematic and long-term measures and initiate a cycle of faster economic development. It is necessary, without delay, to focus all activities on maintaining macroeconomic stability and economic recovery, which implies a reduction in the gray economy and the fight against corruption.
