{"code":"bk","name":"Bosnia and Herzegovina","region":"Europe","background":"Bosnia and Herzegovina's declaration of sovereignty in October 1991 was followed by a declaration of independence from the former Yugoslavia on 3 March 1992 after a referendum boycotted by ethnic Serbs. The Bosnian Serbs - supported by neighboring Serbia and Montenegro - responded with armed resistance aimed at partitioning the republic along ethnic lines and joining Serb-held areas to form a \"Greater Serbia.\" In March 1994, Bosniaks and Croats reduced the number of warring factions from three to two by signing an agreement creating a joint Bosniak/Croat Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. On 21 November 1995, in Dayton, Ohio, the warring parties initialed a peace agreement that brought to a halt three years of interethnic civil strife (the final agreement was signed in Paris on 14 December 1995). The Dayton Peace Accords retained Bosnia and Herzegovina's international boundaries and created a multi-ethnic and democratic government charged with conducting foreign, diplomatic, and fiscal policy. Also recognized was a second tier of government composed of two entities roughly equal in size: the Bosniak/Bosnian Croat Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Bosnian Serb-led Republika Srpska (RS). The Federation and RS governments were charged with overseeing most government functions. The Dayton Accords also established the Office of the High Representative (OHR) to oversee the implementation of the civilian aspects of the agreement. The Peace Implementation Council (PIC) at its conference in Bonn in 1997 also gave the High Representative the authority to impose legislation and remove officials, the so-called \"Bonn Powers.\" In 1995-96, a NATO-led international peacekeeping force (IFOR) of 60,000 troops served in Bosnia to implement and monitor the military aspects of the agreement. IFOR was succeeded by a smaller, NATO-led Stabilization Force (SFOR) whose mission was to deter renewed hostilities. European Union peacekeeping troops (EUFOR) replaced SFOR in December 2004; their mission is to maintain peace and stability throughout the country. EUFOR's mission changed from peacekeeping to civil policing in October 2007, with its presence reduced from nearly 7,000 to less than 2,500 troops. Troop strength at the end of 2010 stood at roughly 1,500. In January 2010, Bosnia and Herzegovina assumed a nonpermanent seat on the UN Security Council for the 2010-11 term.","geo":{"Location":"Southeastern Europe, bordering the Adriatic Sea and Croatia","Geographic coordinates":{"N":{"deg":44,"min":0},"E":{"deg":18,"min":0}},"Map references":{},"Area":{"total":{"quantity":51197,"unit":"sq km"},"country comparison to the world":"","land":{"quantity":51187,"unit":"sq km"},"water":{"quantity":10,"unit":"sq km"}},"Area -

With an uneasy peace in place, output recovered in 1996-99 at high percentage rates from a low base; but output growth slowed in 2000-02. Part of the lag in output was made up during 2003-08, when GDP growth exceeded 5% per year. However, the country experienced a decline in GDP of more than 3% in 2009 reflecting local effects of the global economic crisis. One of Bosnia's main economic challenges in 2010 has been to reduce spending on public sector wages and social benefits to meet the IMF's criteria for obtaining funding for budget shortfalls. Banking reform accelerated in 2001 as all the Communist-era payments bureaus were shut down; foreign banks, primarily from Austria and Italy, now control most of the banking sector. The konvertibilna marka (convertible mark or BAM) - the national currency introduced in 1998 - is pegged to the euro, and confidence in the currency and the banking sector has increased. Bosnia's private sector is growing, but foreign investment has dropped off sharply since 2007. Government spending, at roughly 50% of GDP, remains high because of redundant government offices at the state, entity and municipal level. Privatization of state enterprises has been slow, particularly in the Federation where political division between ethnically-based political parties makes agreement on economic policy more difficult. A sizeable current account deficit and high unemployment rate remain the two most serious macroeconomic problems. Successful implementation of a value-added tax in 2006 provided a predictable source of revenue for the government and helped rein in gray-market activity. National-level statistics have also improved over time but a large share of economic activity remains unofficial and unrecorded. Bosnia and Herzegovina became a full member of the Central European Free Trade Agreement in September 2007. Bosnia and Herzegovina's top economic priorities are: acceleration of integration into the EU; strengthening the fiscal system; public administration reform; World Trade Organization (WTO) membership; and securing economic growth by fostering a dynamic, competitive private sector. The country has received a substantial amount of foreign assistance and will need to demonstrate its ability to implement its economic reform agenda in order to advance its stated goal of EU accession. In 2009, Bosnia and Herzegovina undertook an International Monetary Fund (IMF) standby arrangement, necessitated by sharply increased social spending and a fiscal crisis exacerbated by the global economic downturn. The program aims to reduce recurrent government spending and to strengthen revenue collection.","GDP (purchasing power parity)":{"GDP (purchasing power parity)":{"usd":30330000000},"country comparison to the world":""},"GDP (official exchange rate)":{"usd":16829999999.999998},"GDP - real growth rate":{"quantity":0.8,"unit":"%"},"GDP - per capita (PPP)":{"GDP - per capita (PPP)":{"usd":null},"country comparison to the world":""},"GDP - composition by sector":{"agriculture":{"quantity":6.5,"unit":"%"},"industry":{"quantity":28.4,"unit":"%"},"services":{"quantity":65.1,"unit":"%"}},"Labor force":2600000,"Labor force - by occupation":{"agriculture":{"quantity":20.5,"unit":"%"},"industry":{"quantity":32.6,"unit":"%"},"services":{"quantity":47,"unit":"%"}},"Unemployment rate":{"Unemployment rate":{"quantity":43.1,"unit":"%"},"country comparison to the world":""},"Population below poverty line":{"quantity":18.6,"unit":"%"},"Household income or consumption by percentage share":{"lowest 10%":{"quantity":2.8,"unit":"%"},"highest 10%":{"quantity":27.4,"unit":"%"}},"Distribution of family income - Gini index":34.1,"Budget":{"revenues":{"usd":7750000000},"expenditures":{"usd":7820000000}},"Public debt":{"quantity":39,"unit":"% of GDP"},"Inflation rate (consumer prices)":{"quantity":3.1,"unit":"%"},"Commercial bank prime lending rate":{"quantity":7.93,"unit":"%"},"Stock of narrow money":{"usd":4098000000},"Stock of broad money":{"usd":9307000000},"Stock of domestic credit":{"usd":10090000000},"Market value of publicly traded shares":"$NA","Industrial production growth rate":{"quantity":1.6,"unit":"%"},"Electricity - production":{"quantity":14580000000,"unit":"kWh"},"Electricity - consumption":{"quantity":10800000000,"unit":"kWh"},"Electricity - exports":{"quantity":3900000000,"unit":"kWh"},"Electricity - imports":{"quantity":1200000000,"unit":"kWh"},"Oil - production":"NA bbl/day (2008 est.)","Oil - consumption":"NA bbl/day (2009 est.)","Oil - exports":{"quantity":191.8,"unit":"bbl/day"},"Oil - imports":{"quantity":25990,"unit":"bbl/day"},"Oil - proved reserves":{"quantity":0,"unit":"bbl"},"Natural gas - production":{"quantity":0,"unit":"cu m"},"Natural gas - consumption":{"quantity":390000000,"unit":"cu m"},"Natural gas - exports":{"quantity":0,"unit":"cu m"},"Natural gas - imports":{"quantity":390000000,"unit":"cu m"},"Natural gas - proved reserves":{"quantity":0,"unit":"cu m"},"Current account balance":"$-1.175 billion (2010 est.)","Exports":{"usd":4804000000},"Imports":{"usd":9220000000},"Reserves of foreign exchange and gold":{"usd":4200000000},"Debt - external":{"usd":7996000000},"Exchange rates":"konvertibilna markas (BAM) per US dollar -","industries":["steel, coal, iron ore, lead, zinc, manganese, bauxite, aluminum, vehicle assembly, textiles, tobacco products, wooden furniture, ammunition, domestic appliances, oil refining"],"agricultureProducts":["wheat","corn","fruits","vegetables","livestock"],"exportCommodities":["metals","clothing","wood products"],"exportPartners":["Croatia 19.07%","Slovenia 18.58%","Italy 16.87%","Germany 13.38%","Austria 10.25%"],"importCommodities":["machinery and equipment","chemicals","fuels","foodstuffs"],"importPartners":["Croatia 22.17%","Germany 14.04%","Slovenia 13.45%","Italy 11.89%","Austria 6.61%","Hungary 5.74%"]},"communications":{"Telephones - main lines in use":998600,"Telephones - mobile cellular":3257000,"Telephone system":{"general assessment":"post-war reconstruction of the telecommunications network, aided by a internationally sponsored program, resulting in sharp increases in the number of fixed telephone lines available","domestic":"fixed-line teledensity roughly 22 per 100 persons;
