About Bosnia & Herzegovina's National Debt
Bosnia and Herzegovina keeps debt low, but a complex postwar governance structure and political fragmentation constrain reform and EU-accession progress.
Bosnia & Herzegovina is one of the world's more fiscally conservative governments, with debt at 34% of GDP — a low ratio that leaves substantial headroom for stimulus or crisis response without threatening sustainability. By total government debt, Bosnia & Herzegovina ranks 121st of the 138 governments tracked here.
Bosnia & Herzegovina carries no net new borrowing at this rate, reflecting a budget surplus or a debt-reduction programme. Each of Bosnia & Herzegovina's 3 million citizens carries an individual share of approximately $2,500. That is below the world average of roughly $12,600 in government debt per person.
Figures are computed by Global Debt Clock using linear extrapolation from IMF general government gross debt baselines (Fiscal Monitor / WEO April 2026) and national treasury data. Actual debt changes through discrete bond issuances — these counters illustrate the approximate scale and pace of sovereign borrowing.
