What the numbers say
In 2025, Bosnia and Herzegovina's transport services (% of service imports, BoP) rose 1.4 percentage points on 2024 (from 32.66% to 34.06%).

This year's change was 0.6 standard deviations above 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 4.87 percentage points in 2017 and the biggest yearly fall was 11.12 percentage points in 2006. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2016 to 2025 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains less than 1% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
