Bosnia Gdp Per Capita

Bosnia GDP Per Capita: An Overview

The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita is a key indicator of a country’s economic health, reflecting the average economic output per person. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, the most recent figures show a gradual rise in nominal GDP per capita, moving from around US$5,500 in 2015 to approximately US$6,800 in 2023. This increase mirrors modest growth in productivity, foreign investment, and tourism, while also highlighting the challenges that remain for a nation still recovering from the legacy of conflict and structural reforms.

Recent Trends and Real‑Time Data

Economic analysts now rely on real‑time counters that track nominal GDP per capita on a monthly basis. These counters aggregate data from the Bosnia and Herzegovina statistical agency, the World Bank, and the International Monetary Fund, providing an up‑to‑date snapshot of the country’s economic performance. As of July 2026, the real‑time nominal GDP per capita stands at roughly US$6,900, a slight uptick from the previous quarter, driven primarily by stronger export activity in the metal and textile sectors.

Comparison with Neighboring Regions

Understanding Bosnia’s position in the Western Balkans requires a side‑by‑side look at neighboring economies. The following points illustrate how Bosnia’s GDP per capita compares with adjacent districts and cantons:

• Serbian Districts: Average nominal GDP per capita in Serbia’s districts ranges from US$7,200 in the north to US$9,500 in the capital region, placing Bosnia slightly below its northern neighbor.
• Albanian Counties: Albania’s counties report figures between US$6,300 and US$8,200, meaning Bosnia’s current level is comparable to the lower‑end Albanian counties.
• Counties of Croatia: Croatia’s counties, especially those along the Adriatic coast, often exceed US$12,000 per capita, highlighting a notable gap with Bosnia’s economy.
• Cantons of Bosnia: Within Bosnia itself, the Sarajevo Canton leads with a GDP per capita of about US$9,000, while the more rural cantons such as Bosnian Krajina remain under US$5,500.
