Bosnia and Herzegovina: Multilateral debt service (TDS, current US$)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2024, Bosnia and Herzegovina's multilateral debt service (TDS, current US$) fell 11.3% on 2023 (from US$502.01 million to US$445.18 million).

Across the 24 yearly changes before that (2000 to 2023), the average change was +10.1% and a typical year strayed about 26.7% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.8 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 77.6% in 2000 and the biggest yearly fall was 74.2% in 2002. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2015 to 2024 the straight-line trend is upward, about US$23.45 million a year. A straight line explains 76% of the movement over 10 observed years.

A straight-line projection, tested first

Extending that straight line gives about US$522.4 million for 2027. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2022 to 2024 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was US$51.14 million, against US$84.98 million for assuming no change. Treat it as a continuation of the recent pattern, not a forecast of events: it cannot see a recession, a policy change or a revision to the data.
