Foreword
Although operating in a very complex
environment, the CBBH has met its primary
goals completely - a comprehensive and
credible implementation of Currency Board
arrangement and the price, monetary and
financial stability. By fulfilling the mandate
- defined tasks, the CBBH continued close
cooperation with other institutions of
Bosnia and Herzegovina on the issues of
achieving financial stability, and the CBBH
representatives gave their full contribution
to participation in the work of bodies such as
the Deposit Insurance Agency of Bosnia and
Herzegovina, the Standing Committee on
the Financial Stability of BH and BH Fiscal
Council.

Dear readers,
The Article 64 of the Law on the Central
Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Official
Gazette of Bosnia and Herzegovina No.
I/97) defines the obligations of the Central
Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina (CBBH)
to submit to the Parliamentary Assembly
of Bosnia and Herzegovina the following
documents within three months after the
end of the financial year:
- Report on the State of the Economy;
- Report on its Operations during the year; and
- The Financial Statement certified by the
auditor;
CBBH Annual Report 2013 was adopted at
the 5th session of the Governing Board of the
CBBH, held in Sarajevo on 31 March of 2014.
The 2013 can be evaluated as a year of
mild economic recovery in Bosnia and
Herzegovina, with a growth of 1.51%, which
has been mostly affected by the industrial
production growth (6.4%), exports of
electricity and significantly reduced imports.

During 2013, the CBBH continued to


rationalize the costs and it performed certain
savings and profits higher than planned.
Although not profit organization, the CBBH
managed to close up 2013 with a profit in
the amount of KM 30,085,933.24, and 60%
of this amount - BAM 18,051,559.94 is
to be transferred into the budget of Bosnia
and Herzegovina. Thus, in the period from
2004 to 2013, inclusive, the Central Bank
has made a profit of KM 728.6 million, and
60% of this amount, or KM 380.9 million was
paid into the budget of BH institutions.
Over the past year, the CBBH has successfully
performed all the functions in accordance
with its mandate. Investment Committee of
the Bank, strictly following the Investment
Guidelines set by the CBBH Governing Board
successfully answered all the defined tasks
in complex market conditions, managing
the Banks portfolio in a safe and profitable
way. The CBBH continued with successful
cash management, taking into account the
structure and quality of the denominations
in circulation, which was an extremely
challenging task, considering the fact that
we closed the year with KM 2.91 billion of
cash in circulation, which is the highest total
value of cash in circulation since the start of
the CBBH operations.

During the previous year, through the


CBBH payment and settlement systems,
KM 35.8 million transactions was realized,
and no technical issues were recorded in
the operation. During 2013, the CBBH also
successfully completed all of its obligations
as the state fiscal agent - regularly serviced
all the obligations of the state of Bosnia
and Herzegovina to external creditors that
have matured over the year, and CBBH also
completed all the necessary preparations for
the missions of the credit rating agencies Standard and Poors and Moodys, i.e. the
representatives of these two Agencies had
at their disposal all the conditions provided
and relevant information necessary for the
operation of the sovereign rating assessment.
During the last year we also continued with
the upgrading of business operations in the
CBBH, among which we should point out the
process of implementing a new IT platform
for statistics, based on Business Intelligence
(BI), including an entirely new platform for
disseminating information on the Central
Bank website. With this project, the CBBH
has made a significant step forward in the
quality of storage, processing and use of
statistical data, because, today, the interested
users have real-time access to all the statistics
produced by the CBBH, and with the tools
for analysis and adjustment of data they can
quickly produce reports in accordance with
their needs. In addition to applications in
the domain of statistics, we continued with
the development of IT infrastructure also
for other sectors in the CBBH, where we
should emphasize a new software application
for registration of counterfeited money
and the software application for human
resource management. The new applications
for counterfeits registration, recording
and reporting on counterfeited banknotes
enables far more efficient data management,
providing a quick access to all the agencies to
which these data are essential. These projects
ensure continuous implementation of the EU

standards and the CBBH is certainly going to


continue with the analysis and improvement
of business processes.
In addition to improving the automation
of business processes, the CBBH continued
the consistent implementation of strategies
in human resource management, paying
particular attention to the career development
of young professionals in the field of central
banking to ensure that the CBBH has
the highest quality human resources in
performing its functions. In this respect, it is
worth to mention the technical cooperation
realized with the Deutsche Gesellschaft
fr Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ)
GmbH, Swiss State Secreteriat for Economic
Affairs - SECO and academic cooperation
with the university of St. Anthony Colleage
in Oxford, where with the assistance of
these programs, we continuously strengthen
institutional and professional capacities of
the Bank, but through such like cooperation
and international conferences, we also
promote the economic environment and
the possibility of investment in Bosnia and
Herzegovina. In addition to regular business
processes, the CBBH continued the practice
of corporate social responsibility, through
which, in accordance with the capabilities
and legal limitations, gave its contribution to
the development of the wider community.
I would like to thank to the Governing
Board, the Management and all the CBBH
employees, whose professional attitude is
the cause of all the results achieved in the
previous year, which, despite the complex
and difficult situation, can be assessed as
satisfactory.
Governor
Kemal Kozari, Ph. D.

Economic
Developments in 2013

Annual Report 2013

1.1 International Economic


Environment
1.1.1 Real Sector Trends
Global activity has strengthened in the second
half of the year, and further improvement is
expected in the next two years2. The latest
projections of the IMF forecast the global
growth of 3.0% for 2013, and 3.7% for 2014
and 3.9% for 2015. This growth was the
consequence of the recovery in developed
countries, and, through the increased
demand, it could have positive effects on
developing countries, too. However, some
economies continue to show extreme
vulnerability, indicating further presence of
risk on reduction of growth. Deformation
of the loan portfolio and capital outflows
particularly affect certain markets, as well as
tighter global financial conditions. Structural
reforms remain the focus for increasing
growth, with regard to fiscal consolidation
and continuation of monetary policy trends
from previous years.
Growth in U. S. GDP was 1.9% (-0.9%
compared to 2012). Although the first part of
the year had not recorded significant growth,
the second half of the year recorded a growth
rate of even 3.7%. A major driver of growth is
private consumption, which makes for more
than two thirds of the U. S. GDP. The increase
in income and prices of stocks and real estate,

11

along with a slight drop in unemployment


(7.6% compared to 8.1% in 2012) contributed
to the recovery in consumption. Companies,
too, increased investment thanks to the
recovery of profitability, low interest rates and
reducing of the uncertainty that had been the
feature of the previous year.
The stagnation of GDP in the EU28 (growth
of 0.1%) marked 2013, while the euro zone
recorded the decline of 0.5%.3 Although the
strongest economy shows recovery, southern
peripheral EU countries are still faced with
difficulties and negative growth rates of GDP.
The financial sector and banks asset quality
in both leading and peripheral economies
continue to pose a potential threat to the
further recovery and growth. Conditions in
the labor market in the EU have not recorded
an improvement, and the unemployment
rates in December in the euro area and in the
EU28 are approximately equal to those of the
last year and amounted to 12.0% and 10.7%.
With the declining trend in oil prices on world
markets (Graph1.1), high unemployment,
reduction of wages (particularly in
countries that are struggling with a lack of
competitiveness), and weak demand in the
EU, along with measures of savings in some
countries, have resulted in deflationary
pressures. So with the end of the year, the
annual inflation in the euro zone was at the
level of 0.8%, while in the EU28 it amounted
to 1.0%.

In the countries of the region, there was a


slight recovery, with the exception of Croatia,
which is still in recession according to official
indicators.

1.1.2 Monetary Trends


During 2013, FED kept its benchmark interest
rate at a level between 0.00% and 0.25%. At
the December session, the decision was made
to reduce the bond purchase program by 10
billion dollars, to the level of 75 billion dollars
monthly. This decision will apply from January
2014. FED has made the statement that this
decision was taken because since October a
moderate recovery of the U.S. economy has
been recorded, then the further progress of
the labor market and that the unemployment
rate, though still high, has declined. Officials
of the FOMC consider that the inflation rate is
still significantly below the target level of 2.0%,
which could pose a threat to the local economy.
In the above statement it is pointed out that the
FED will continue to keep interest rates at low
level until the unemployment rate is above the
level of 6.5%, but also quite a long time after it
is reduced below this level, and that the further
steps of FOMC will depend on the economic
indicators in the future.
In 2013, central banks of the leading
economies have continued with the policy
of extremely low interest rates, as well as
programmes of quantitative easining. In the
first quarter of 2013, the ECB did not change
its benchmark interest rate, i.e. this rate was
maintained at the level of 0.75%, where it

stood since July 2012 with the explanation


that its same level maintenance results from
the improved market indicators. Despite the
visible strengthening of the confidence in the
European financial markets and stable euro
zone economic indicators, the economic
activity in the euro zone was still weak. In
May 2013, the ECB lowered the benchmark
interest rate by 25 basis points to a level of
0.5%, with the ECB deposit facility interest
rate remained unchanged at a level of 0.0%,
while the marginal lending facility interest
rate decreased to 1.0% . For the first time, the
ECB Governing Council openly discussed the
possibility of reducing deposit facility interest
rate below 0,0%, while stating that there were
many complications and consequences that
could arise from the above mentioned, and
that those must be carefully considered. Such
a decision of the ECB has been expected by
analysts for some time, especially because of
the bad economic situation in the euro zone
and high unemployment rate. During the third
quarter of 2013 benchmark interest rate of the
ECB has not changed.
At its meeting in November 2013, the ECB
adopted an unexpected decision to reduce the
benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points,
to the historically lowest level of 0.25%. The
interest rate at the ECB marginal lending
facility was decreased by 25 basis points to
0.75%, while the rate at the ECB deposit
facility remained unchanged at a level of
0.0%. The ECB published the statement that
this decision had been made on the basis of
the latest data on the movement of inflation
recording the level below 1%, which suggests

Annual Report 2013

that the inflation could remain at the low level


for longer period of time, after which, the
slight growth is expected. It was stated that
in accordance with that, the monetary policy
will remain flexible as long as it is needed,
and that the ECB expects the interest rates
to remain at current or lower level for longer
period of time. It was also decided to continue
with the implementation of unlimited credit
at a fixed interest rate through operations on
the money market as long as necessary. The
level of the reference interest rate of the ECB
of 0.25% is held by the end of 2013.
During 2013, FED kept its benchmark
interest rate at a level between 0.00% and
0.25%. At the December session, the decision
was made to reduce the bond purchase
program by 10 billion dollars, to the level of
75 billion dollars a month. This decision will
apply from January 2014. Fed released the
statement that this decision had been taken
because since October, the U. S. economy
recorded a moderate recovery, then the
further development of the labor market
and that the unemployment rate, though still
high, had declined. FED officials believe that
the inflation rate is still significantly below the
target level of 2.0%, which could pose a threat
to the local economy. It is expected that the
FED will continue to keep interest rates at low
level until the unemployment rate is above
the level of 6.5%, but considerably after it is
reduced below this level, and that the FED s
further steps depend on economic indicators
in the future.

Decisions of the worlds leading rating


agencies on reducing the credit rating of some
members of the euro zone and banks, as in
previous years, contributed to the increase in
instability (fluctuations in interest rates and
yields) in the financial markets.

1.2 Report on the State of the


Economy in BH
When measured by the value of the nominal
GDP and growth of the real GDP, there was
a slight recovery in economic activity in the
country in 2013. According to the CBBH
data, nominal GDP in 2013 amounted to
BAM 26.12 billion (Table 1)4, being an
increase of 1.5% compared to the previous
year5. Using the consumer price index (CPI)
as the deflator, real GDP growth in the 2013 is
estimated at 1.61%6.
Despite the nominal annual growth, economic
activity in the country in the periods after
2008 is quite weak, which could adversely
affect the trend of long-term potential growth
of the country. Graph 1.3 illustrates that the
nominal value of gross domestic product in
2013 is higher by only 5% compared to the
value of five years ago. On the other hand,
the value of gross domestic product with the
neutralized price effect in the period after the
crisis is growing faster than nominal value, as
a result of the downward trend of deflators in
periods after 2008.

In February 2014, the
Agency for Statistics of
Bosnia and Herzegovina
(BHAS) published the
estimates of the GDP for
the first three quarters of
2013. The total deviation
of the GDP estimated
values according to the
CBBH model for the
same period is BAM + 74
million (0.87%).

6
Deflators for the
individual components
of GDP are published
by BHAS. Historically
observed, the CPI and
the GDP deflator have
similar trend, although
not identical. Deviations
are accentuated during
periods of significant
changes in commodity
prices on international
markets. Thus, although
the value of nominal GDP
for 2013 published by the
Agency for Statistics is
likely to be quite similar
to the assessment of the
CBBH, the growth rates of
the real GDP could vary
significantly. According
to BHAS data , the GDP
real growth in the first
three quarters of the 2013
compared to the same
period of 2012 amounts
to 1.88%.

14

Central Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina

The deflators downward trend, both in


production approach, so as in the expenses
approach in measuring the GDP, suggests
that the real sector is very slow in adapting
to shocks in domestic demand. Low average
core inflation (Sub-section 1.2.1) suggests
that domestic firms are adapting to the
reduced demand, with reducing costs,
rather than reducing the price of the final
products, which could be one of the causes
of high unemployment rate. Considering
the above mentioned, without significant
improvement of the business climate, which
would allow greater flexibility in companies

goods and services in 2013 (Sub-section


1.2.4), along with other components relatively
unchanged, is suggesting that the private
consumption in 2013, at best, is equal to that
in 2012 year 7.
According to data for the first three quarters,
the GDP growth in 2013 is primarily caused
by the growth of activities in the sectors that
make up the industrial production (Graph:
1.5). Although still being important activity
in the GDP structure, the value of trade is
significantly reduced compared to the first
three quarters of 2012, likely as a result of

Although according
to these two principles,
the nominal and real
GDP differ significantly,
growth rates have equal
trends. Accordingly,
in 2013, the moderate
growth of GDP is
expected as per
consumption principle.
Since according to the
CBBH data, net export
of goods and services
is less negative in 2013
year as a result of
significant growth in
exports and decrease
in imports, private
consumption must be
equal to or lower than
the one recorded in
2012.

business policies and investments to expand


production capacities of domestic enterprises,
the weak domestic demand will continue to
be a significant limiting factor in the growth
of economic activity in the country.
Consumption of the population has stagnated
since 2008. (Graph 1.4). Bearing in mind that
the nominal and real annual growth rates
of GDP, according to the production and
expenses approach, are similar, the significant
reduction of the deficit at the account of

weak domestic demand. The value of GDP,


being created by the budget users in the first
three quarters of 2013, is almost unchanged
compared to the same period of 2012, as a
result of the rationalization in the budget
spending8. Significant growth of the GDP
was also recorded due to the increase in
activities related to real estate business and
to construction. In the case of construction,
increase of the value produced in 2013, is
primarily the consequence of construction
activities in the road infrastructure.

1.2.1 Real Sector

I Industrial Production and Construction

In Sub-section 1.2.1., a special emphasis has


been placed on industrial production and
construction, given their importance for the
level of economic activity. In addition to the
activities in these sectors, the main trends in
the 2013 general level price have also been
outlined, in addition to trends in employment
and wages.

Industrial production has recorded an annual


growth of 6.4 % in 2013, as the highest recorded
growth rate since 2006. Annual growth rate of
industrial production index of 7.4% has been
recorded in December (Table 03).

Central Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina

Activities in the manufacturing industry,


which recorded an uncommonly high
growth in production volume at the end of
the calendar year and thus had a significant
impact on the level of industrial production
index in 2013 are as follows: manufacture
of fabricated metal products, except for
machines and equipment; manufacture of
food products; manufacture of beverages;
and production of machines and devices. Due
to the extremely poor weather conditions
in 2012, the early 2013 was marked by a
significant annual growth in production and
supply of electricity and gas.

Graph 1.6 illustrates that after an extremely


poor performance in 2012 the industrial
production has now recovered and restored
the trend characteristic of the period following
2008.9 On average, industrial production
index in this period has had an annual
growth by 4.5 index points. Above-average
annual growth of industrial production index
is primarily due to the low growth in 2012.
Aside this effect, industrial production is
characterised by the usual seasonal effects,
including a significant reduction in volume at
the onset of the calendar year and growth in
the second half of the year.

The trend is an HP

industrial production
indices for the period
of January 2000 to
December 2013.
Deviations from the
trend are the difference
between the original
series and a trend. The
year of 2008 was taken
as the reference period
given the slowdown
in the industrial
production in the
aftermath of the crisis.

Further in consideration by statistical areas,


the growth of industrial production on
an annual basis was primarily due to the
growth of the manufacturing industry, that
is, the absence of the usual reduction in the
production volume in the manufacturing
industry at the end of the year (Graph 1.7).

However, not even so big increase in electricity


production significantly mitigated the effects
of the usual reduction of production in the
manufacturing industry at the beginning of
the year.

Construction industry has also seen greater


activities compared to 2012, although of
much lower intensity than in industrial
production. In both entities, there is a higher
value of the works performed compared
to the previous year, yet with significantly
different growth rates.10 In 2013, BAM 403.4
million have been secured based on the loan
abroad to finance construction activities
in the country, specifically related to civil
engineering (Corridor Vc and reconstruction
of the existing road network), which is BAM
107.8 million more than in the previous year
of 2012.11
II Prices
The slowdown trend in inflation has been
present since the early 2011, and it continued
in 2013, with the deflationary pressures
emerging in the second half of the year
(Table 04). Annual inflation, measured by

Area D: Production and supply of electricity, gas, steam and


air-conditioning.
IPI: Industrial Production Index

the consumer price index (CPI) in 2013 was


- 0.1%. At the end of 2013, inflation rate of 1.2% was recorded.
Deflation in 2013 is a result of a continuing
trend in the decrease of food and oil prices on
the global markets. Long-term inflationary
trend in BH, measured by core inflation, is
almost zero (Graph 1.8).12 The only significant
differences in core inflation were recorded
in 2010 due to the simultaneous increase in
excise duties on alcohol and tobacco, and the
costs of communications and education. In
the years when the estimated core inflation
is negative, the price index for clothing and
footwear has recorded a significant decrease
compared to the previous year.

10
Weighted growth at the
national level in 2013
is about 3.3% in the
construction sector, with
recorded growth of 4.5%
in the FBH, while the
growth in RS amounted
to 0.8% (share of entities
in total GDP used as
weight).

Three price sections
which are strongly
influenced by
commodity prices
in international
markets are: food and
beverages (due to food
prices); housing, water,
electricity, gas and other
fuels (due to the price
of natural gas); and
transport (due to oil
prices). Core inflation
has been calculated by
reducing the official
inflation by effects of
changes in prices in
these three sections.
Official annual weights
for price sections as
published by the BHAS
have been used as
the weights. The only
exception is the year
of 2013, as the price
weights have not been
published during the
preparation of the
2013 Annual Report.
Therefore, price weights
from 2012 have been
used for 2013 as well.

Data according to
the ILO methodology
are annual, while
administrative data
on unemployment are
available on a monthly
basis. Although not an

trend is uniform with
the data according to the

According to the
old classification of
activities, industrial
production in 2012
includes the activities
under C, D and E. In
order to enable direct
comparison between
two periods, the
indutsrial production
in 2013 includes
also E activity (water
supply; sewerage,
waste management
and environmental
remediation), which was
an integral part of the
activity E in 2012.
Activities which
are largely financed
from the budget are
as follows: public

In addition to deferred spending due to


expectations of further price reductions,
weak domestic demand despite deflation may
be indicative of a very low purchasing power
of the population.
III Employment and Wages
According to data of the BHAS, unemployment
in Bosnia and Herzegovina in December 2013
in line with the ILO (International Labour
Organisation) methodology amounted to
27.50% (-50 bp compared to December 2012),
while the administrative unemployment
rates were at 44.55% (+19 bp compared to
December 2012). Although the unemployment
rates significantly differ across levels, their
trend is nevertheless uniform, indicating that
the difference is largely due to the different
treatment of the population aged 15 and over,
living in private households.13 Accordingly, the
monthly changes in the number of employed
and unemployed by activities should reflect
the basic trends in the labour market. 14

In 2013, the labour market has shown signs of


slight recovery. Upscale trend in the number
of employed also continued, and at the end
of 2013, the annual growth rate is ultimately
positive (Graph 1.9). The increase in the
number of the employed is partly a result
of increased labour inspection activities,
resulting in a significant number of previously
unregistered workers who are now registered.
Only in the hotel industry and catering, the
number of registered employed persons
increased by 3.5% in December compared
to the previous month. A significant shortterm reduction in the number of employed
persons in early 2013 was caused by a drop in
the number of persons employed in trade and
other service activities. Number of employees
in industries that make up the industrial
production and the activities that are largely
financed from the budget has not changed
significantly.15 The trend of a slowdown in
the growth in the number of unemployed
continued in 2013. Moreover, at the end
of the year the number of unemployed per
annum has even marked a decline.

significant rigidness of the labour market.

The highest total cost of net salary is in group


B, primarily due to the high number persons
employed in this sector (26.9% of the total
number of employed at the end of 2013),
while their further growth is limited by the
policy of rationalisation of budget expenses.
The cost of the total net salary in group A
is primarily a result of the characteristics of
companies in BH in the field of industrial
production. According to data from the
BHAS, 179 companies, being classified as
large based on the number of employees
(250 and above) operated in 2012. Out of
this number, 64.3% were in the industrial
sector, employing 45.6% in enterprises in
this field of activity. The state is the majority
or a significant owner in a number of these
enterprises, with an emphasised social
factor in such cases, even when it comes to

industrial production. The following graph


illustrates that neither the range, nor the
core inflations plus and minus sign make
a difference when it comes to annual cost
growth in net wages in enterprises in the field
of industrial production.
Unlike the aforementioned two groups,
adjustment in the total costs of net of wages
to changes in the business environment in
fragmented industries with a large number
of small businesses (0-49 employees), such
as group C and E in Graph 1.10, are much
faster. The trend of reducing the total cost of
net wages is particularly prominent in Group
E, which may imply that in the last three
years, the demand for seasonal workers has
significantly reduced, but also that there is a
significant portion of unregistered workers.

enterprises with poorer performance than the


rest of the enterprises in the same industry.
In other words, the labour market in these
industries is very rigid, while reductions of
wages are rare (although the increase, albeit
almost continuous, is not significant either).
Graph 1.11 shows the annual change in the
costs of net salaries for a given level of core
inflation in the period from January 2011
to December 2013. While one could expect
significant fluctuations in the cost of net salary
at a low level of core inflation and in line with
macroeconomic trends, this is not the case in

1.2.2 Fiscal Sector


Although the trend for the first three quarters
of 2013 has been positive, the image of
adjustment between budget revenues and
expenses will be complete only with the
availability of data on an annual basis that are
more comprehensive than quarterly data. The
extent of differences in findings depending
on the recording methods of revenues and
expenses during the year is best illustrated
by the fact that the consolidated budget of
the government sector at the end of the year

Annual Report 2013

usually records a deficit despite the surplus


in the first three quarters. According to data
from the Economic and Fiscal Programme,
projected deficit for 2013 is 1% of GDP.
Growth trend in the foreign debt of the
government sector continued also at the
end of 2013, and amounted to BAM 7.40
billion (Graph 1.12). Compared to 2012,
indebtedness, and therefore the level of
foreign exchange reserves, increased by BAM
249.2 million. Due to the high repayment of

21

foreign debt due in the amount of BAM 684.8


million, this increase in net debt has been
significantly mitigated.
The largest amount of funds per individual
creditor is withdrawn on the basis of the SBA.
As a result in 2013, BAM 244.4 million was
engaged (BAM 75.8 million in May, BAM
75.8 million in June and BAM 92.8 million
in October). Table 1.1 gives an overview of
tranches by IV SBA, with SDR 211.4 million
withdrawn by the end of 2013.

Funds in the amount of BAM 236.0 million


have been withdrawn from the European
Investment Bank (EIB) and BAM 200.8
million from the European Bank for
Reconstruction and Development (EBRD),
which had an impact on the growth of foreign
exchange reserves in the months when
these funds were engaged (Graph 1.13). The
funds from these credit lines are intended
for execution of investment projects in the
field of construction works on Corridor VC
and other investment projects in the field of
gasification and electrification. Although the
net foreign debt of the general government

has increased compared to the previous year,


47.8% of the new debt relates to development
projects that ultimately have a positive effect
on the growth of foreign exchange reserves
and GDP. Funding from the European
Commission in the amount of BAM 195.6
million was engaged in the form of macrofinancial assistance to support the budgets of
the general government so as to eliminate the
adverse effects of the economic crisis. Funds
were engaged in February and September and
have had a positive impact on the growth of
foreign exchange reserves (Graph 1.13).

need for additional government borrowing


on the market.
In 2013, Entities governments have continued
with their policy of borrowing on the
domestic market. Governments have sought
to overcome problems with budget deficits
and liquidity by issuing securities (Table 1.3).
In 2013, BAM 162.0 million were due for
payment on this basis, and according to data
from the end of December 2013, additional
BAM 188.2 million will be due in 2014.

The servicing of liabilities to foreign creditors,


from a single account for the collection of
indirect taxes is a priority, whereby the funds
collected from VAT have the most significant
share. Reduction in the inflow of indirect
taxes during 2013 (Graph 1.14) resulted in the

Domestic banks are the majority buyers of the
government debt.
1.2.3 Banking Sector
Deposit and lending activities, regulatory
requirements, as well as the need of

commercial banks for national and/or foreign


currency affects the balance of net liabilities
of commercial banks. Compared to late 2012,
net foreign liabilities of the banking sector
have been reduced by BAM 380.1 million,
which was directly reflected in the reduction
of foreign exchange reserves. Compared to
the years noting an unusually large increase
in foreign debt that has neutralised the effects
of bank deleveraging (such as in 2009 and
2011), the effect of changes in net foreign
liabilities of banks on the foreign exchange
reserves was evident in 2013 (Graph 1.16).

Changes in Net Foreign Liabilities of Banks

Reduction of the foreign liabilities, that


is, the foreign debt of commercial banks
has continued in 2013. Deposits of nonresidents that are mostly denominated in
foreign currencies were lower by BAM 118.7
million at the end of 2013 compared to the
end of 2012. The securities from one of the
banks whose buyer was a non-resident was
also due in 2013, thus further reducing net
foreign liabilities on an annual basis by BAM
100 million. The repayment of loans when
becoming due, as well as the early repayment
in certain cases, have exceeded the level of new
borrowings from commercial banks abroad.
Reducing the liabilities under loans was not
as dramatic as in earlier periods (BAM 38.8
million annually) primarily thanks to the
withdrawal of the new special - purpose
credit lines relating to direct investments
in economic activities and infrastructure
(Graph 1.17). These three categories account
for 67.7% changes in the net foreign liabilities
of banks compared to 2012.
The value of debt securities by non-residents
in bank assets increased compared to 2012 by
BAM 69.8 million, which accounts for 18.4%
of changes in net foreign liabilities of banks
(Graph 1.17).
Bearing in mind that the foreign liabilities
of banks had grown in periods of credit
expansion due to inadequate maturity
structure of domestic sources of financing,

the continuation of the deleveraging process


suggests that domestic sources of financing
are sufficient to settle a significant portion
of the current demand for loans. The annual
growth rate of loans in December 2013
amounted to only 2.9%. As of mid-2013, there
is a noticeable change in the dynamics of
growth of receivables by sectors in the sense
that receivable from the households begin to
grow significantly faster than the receivables
from non-financial enterprises (Tables 14 and
15).
The growth of non-performing loans, an
increased risk aversion and more strict
requirements for approval of loans, along
with the weak domestic demand, have shaped
the lending activity to enterprises. Out of
BAM 3.57 billion of new loans approved to
enterprises, as many as 60% are short-term
loans. This is indicative for short-term liquidity
problems of enterprises, as evidenced by the
increase in the number of blocked accounts
in BH that the CBBH regularly reports, as well
as a growing amount of outstanding claims
between enterprises, which are overcome by
these borrowings. Hence the growth of total
loans of non-financial public and private
enterprises on an annual basis amounts
to only BAM 132.1 million. Unfavourable
expectations act as a limiting factor for longterm investments and lending activities. For
further recovery of economic activity in the
country, and consequently the placement

of more long-term loans in this sector, it is


necessary to expedite the implementation
of structural reforms and attract foreign
capital, as well as to have a recovery in
domestic demand. Structural reforms also
condition many aid funds to help different
industries. The increase in foreign demand
could perhaps be expected given the positive
indicators from the countries that are major
trading partners (with the exception of
Croatia). The actual effect of such demand to
the increase of credit-export activities in the
country still depends on the movement of
prices and competitiveness of BH products
on the market.
The poor state of the labour market and
uncertainty about future income, as well
as more strict conditions for credits, all
determine the exposure towards the retail
sector. Although the amount of new loans
disbursed amounted to BAM 2.36 billion,
total net loans growth of this sector is merely
BAM 267.2 million. Household loans have
also recorded an upscale trend in short-term
lending relating primarily to consumer loans
with servicing of pre-existing obligations.

The height of lending interest rates that


do not show significant reduction are also
discouraging for both sectors (Table 10a),
while the unstable political and economic
situation in the country has put pressure on
the increase in risk premiums.
The only sector that has marked an increase
is the government sector. With significant
borrowing through securities, the government
sector has increased its indebtedness to banks
in the form of loans by BAM 76.0 million, of
which about 80% are short-term loans.
The banking system in BH has ended its 2013
business year with a negative financial result.
The loss at the level of the banking system,
according to final, unaudited data of banking
agencies, amounted to BAM 36.12 million and
was primarily the result of poor performance
of five banks that participate in total assets
of the banking sector with 13.92%, while the
majority of banks in the banking system has
had positive financial results, with the profit
concentrated in several of the largest banks in
the system.

Annual Report 2013

1.2.4 External Sector


I Balance of Payments
The most significant differences in the
balance of payments compared to 2012 are
the following: the current account deficit was
lower due to a deficit decrease in goods account
and an increase in primary income; there was
a smaller inflow of other investments; and a
decrease in portfolio investments and other
assets (Table 19). Secondary income, primarily
remittances and social transfers from abroad,
continues to represent the most important
item financing the current account deficit
(64.9% in 2013), but its value in 2013 is almost
unchanged compared to 2012 (Table 20).
The growth of foreign exchange reserves in
2013 (Chapter 3) is mainly caused by changes
in the trade deficit as a substantial growth in
exports has had a positive effect on foreign
exchange reserves (Graph 1.18). Considering
that export growth in BH is traditionally
based on intermediate goods exports, the
impact of global prices and demand in the
neighbouring countries and the EU as its
main trading partners, has predominately
influenced the movement of exports. On
the other hand, imports are dependent on
domestic consumption, which is stagnating
as the case was in previous years, but also on
the price of oil and petroleum products in

27

the global market. As a result of significant


growth in exports of goods (8.7% or BAM
438.0 million per annum) and the stagnation
of imports of goods (down by 1.52% or BAM
205.1 million), the trade deficit has been
reduced by BAM 643.3 million (6.62%).
Export growth is based on the growth
in electricity production, in part, as well
as favourable pricing trends. Favourable
developments in the real sector and improved
competitiveness which is reflected in the
depreciation trend of the real effective
exchange rate (Table 37), as well as an increase
in demand and the revival of economic
activity in the EU, have all contributed to
export growth. Export of electricity is mainly
focused on the countries of the region, with a
prominent increase in exports to Croatia, and
Serbia to a lesser extent. Compared to 2012,
export of electricity was more than three
times higher.16 Net effect of exchange with
foreign countries is positive, and its nominal
value of BAM 351.4 million was higher by
about 35 times compared to the previous year.
The decline in imports in 2013 was most
significant in the case of mineral products
(as well as gas, due to favourable weather
conditions), food products and chemical
industry products. The decline in imports of
food products is a signal that there has been
some substitution with domestic products in

consumer goods (milk and dairy products,


meat products, and tobacco and alcohol),
especially due to the decrease in imports
from Croatia, but also due to the growth of
agricultural production. On the other hand,
the price effect, the reduction in oil and food
prices on the global market, have further
contributed to the reduction in imports and
trade deficit.
Primary income has been increased by BAM
280.7 million (220.8%) compared to 2012,
primarily due to reduction on the demand
side of this item in the balance of payments.
The largest decrease in this item has been
recorded as a result of an increase in claims
arising from reinvested earnings abroad.
Other investments compared to 2012 have
decreased by BAM 203.2 million (14.83%),
primarily as a result of the process of
bank deleveraging (BAM 364.7 million),
a reduction of trade credits and advances
(BAM 55.6 million), an increase in deposits
of other non-residents (BAM 61.1 million)
and an increase in reserve assets (BAM 636.2
million).

II Nominal and Real Effective


Exchange Rate
In December 2013, BAM rate had nominally
appreciated against the currencies of the
majority of BH main trading partners. There
was also a continuation of the appreciation
trend of the nominal effective exchange rate
(NEER), which started in mid-2010, although
in the last three quarters of 2013, this trend
has been even more pronounced; hence, the
annual NEER appreciated by 2.23 pp. BAM has
nominally appreciated the most in relation to
the Turkish lira, Russian ruble and the Czech
crown (Graph 1.19). Since EUR is an anchor
currency, all nominal changes in BAM are
the result of movement of EUR against other
currencies. On the other hand, depreciation
of the real effective exchange rate (REER)
continues, which is, taking into account the
NEER appreciation trend, solely the result of
price differences between BH and its main
trading partners. At the annual level, REER
is lower by 74 bp, with the depreciation trend
present since early 2012. This trend has been
even more pronounced in 2013, which has a
positive impact on exports for it is an indicator
of the improvement in price competitiveness
of products from BH in the markets of major
trading partners (Graph 1.20).

2. Report on the CBBH


Operations in 2013
Gross foreign exchange reserves of the CBBH
on 31 December 2013 amounted to BAM 7.07
billion, representing an increase of BAM 559.8
million (8.6%) compared to the end of 2012.
(Table 24). The value of foreign exchange
reserves at the end of 2013 is historically the
highest recorded value, while a particularly
pronounced growth in foreign exchange
reserves occurred in the second half of 2013
(Graph 2.1).
Graphs 2.2a and 2.2b illustrate the changes in
the factors that determine the level of foreign
exchange reserves. Historically, changes in
domestic demand, and changes in the foreign
debt of the banking and public sectors are
the main factors which determine changes
in foreign exchange reserves. The change in
the trade deficit, with the exception of 2010,
is traditionally the most important item that

determines changes in the level of foreign


exchange reserves (Table 25). In periods of
expansion, it was deepening (represented by
negative values in Graph 2.2a for 2007 and
2008), thus exerting pressure on the level
of foreign exchange reserves. Contractions
in domestic demand during periods of
deteriorating macroeconomic conditions
such as in 2009 resulted in a reduction in the
trade deficit and weakening of the pressure on
foreign exchange reserves. In the period after
2009, the level of trade deficit was significantly
determined also by changes in exports of
goods, which is especially evident in 2012,
when a sharp decline in exports was recorded,
primarily of electricity. Reduction of trade
deficit in 2013 was caused significantly by an
increase in the value of exports, resulting in
the growth of foreign exchange reserves in
the second half of 2013 (Sub-section 1.2.4).

Annual Report 2013

Changes in the amount of foreign debt of the


banking sector are pro-cyclical; in periods
of economic expansion, they cause a growth
of foreign exchange reserves and vice versa
in periods of unfavourable macroeconomic
conditions (Table 09). The process of bank
deleveraging in 2013 has put pressure on
the level of foreign exchange reserves (Subsection 1.2.3).
Since 2009, changes in the amount of external
debt have had a significant impact on changes
in the level of foreign exchange reserves,
especially in periods when public debt is
growing, but its servicing is not yet significant
(Table 22). Unlike these periods (such as 2010
period), the new indebting in 2013 partially
neutralised the adverse effects of foreign debt
servicing (Sub-section 1.2.2).
Impact of the factor Other has significantly
weakened in 2013 compared to previous
periods. This factor should by no means
be identified with the category of other
investments in the balance of payments
since, although it is largely determined by
other investments in non-financial sector,
it is the difference between the change in
foreign exchange reserves and the sum of
the effects of all other factors. Although the
change in direct investments, which are not
related to the banking sector, is not negligible
in terms of change in the level of foreign
exchange reserves, at the time of preparation
of this Annual Report, the data on flows of
foreign direct investment by sectors were not
available.17

2.1 Monetary Policy


In 2013 as well, the CBBH has met its objective,
defined by the Law, being the issuance of the
domestic currency under the currency board
arrangement. In accordance with Article 31
of the Law, the CBBH is required to ensure
that the aggregate amount of its monetary
liabilities shall not exceed the equivalent of
its net foreign reserves,18 which has been met
in entirety. In addition, the Central Bank is
required to maintain the General Reserve to
the extent of the amount of the authorised
capital of the bank, which must be at least
five percent of the total amount of financial
liabilities shown in the accounts of the
Central Bank at the end of that financial year.
In accordance with the Law, the total amount
of money (monetary) liabilities of the Central
Bank is at all times the sum of:
(A) all banknotes and coins that were put in
circulation by the central office, main units
and other branches of the Central Bank, and
(B) credit balances of all accounts maintained
in the books of the Central Bank and its
organisational units by resident account
holders.
At the end of 2013, the coverage of monetary
liabilities with net foreign exchange reserves
amounted to 106.1% and was slightly lower
compared to previous years, because the
monetary liabilities have recorded the same
trend despite the significant growth of
reserves in 2013.

Considering that data


on flows of foreign
investment for the
first three quarters do
not include retained

changes in the flows may
vary substantially in the
fourth quarter compared
to previous quarters, to
extrapolate the conclusions on investments by
sectors based on data for
the first three quarters
was not possible. As an
illustration, a change in
this factor on an annual
basis for the first three
quarters amounted
to BAM 11 million.

2.2 Reserves Accounts with the CBBH


Compared to 2012, the base for calculation
of the reserve requirement increased by
BAM 749.6 million (5.1%), out of which the
increase in local currency base refers to BAM
610.3 million (81.4% increase in the base
for calculation of reserve requirement). This
increase in the liabilities of commercial banks
included in the base for calculation of reserve

With the decline in domestic demand for


long-term receivables in previous years and
the consequent pronounced deleveraging of
daughter banks towards the mother banks, the
local banks have increasingly relied on domestic
sources of financing (Sub-section 1.2.3). This,
however, does not mean that the classic savings
have increased significantly in periods of weak
economic activity, particularly bearing in
mind that the residents deposits in BAM are

requirement is very important, especially


if viewed in the context of a significant
reduction in the base for 2012 or stagnation
in 2011 (Table 17).19 Resident deposits in
BAM have been the most significant factor
in the growth of the base for calculation of
reserve requirement in 2013, while liabilities
to non-residents have decreased (Graph 2.4).

19
Newly borrowed
funds (deposits and
loans that commercial
banks withdraw
from abroad) and
government deposits for
development projects
have been excluded from
the calculation base for
the reserve requirement
since 1 November
2008 and 1 May 2009,
respectively.

Such significant increase in BAM deposits is


a consequence of the growth of foreign public
debt, but also deposit growth in domestic
sectors, primarily of the households. Graph
2.5 shows the changes in the BAM base for
calculation of reserve requirement and new
external public debt (Sub-section 1.2.2) and
suggests that a significant share of new debt
of the public sector is aimed at development
projects (implying a new foreign debt that
exceeds the changes in the BAM base for
calculation of reserve requirements).

largely caused by new borrowing of the general


government sector abroad. Changes in the level
of money supply may arise as a result of changes
in the level of loans granted by commercial banks
to their customers, especially if there is a present
trend of contracting new loans due to renewal
or rescheduling of the existing ones. As security
instrument, or for credit risk mitigation, some
of the banks require that the fixed or currently
unused portion of the approved amount is kept
as term-deposits with banks for the duration
of the loan contract, thereby creating more
deposits than the amount of new deposits
collected through the process of multiplication.
This practice is particularly pronounced in
the case of new loans to households and nonfinancial enterprises placed in BAM. Graph
2.6 shows the new BAM loans to these sectors
(revolving loans, overdrafts and credit cards are
not included) and the new BAM deposits for
these sectors (demand deposits not included) in
2013.

Such policy of creating deposits is one of the


reasons for the differences between the level
of reserve money of the Central Bank and
the total deposits money. The decreasing
trend in monetary multiplier since mid2012 (Graph 2.7) implies that changes in the
money supply are less and less the results of
changes in the monetary liabilities, which
is common for periods when banks hold
significant balances at their accounts with
central banks. On the other hand, the uniform

movement of the multipliers, especially since


mid-2012, suggests that the multiplication of
money is mainly due to the increase in cash
and sight deposits. Significant differences
in trends among multipliers in 2013 was
recorded in the third quarter, which implies
that the increase of BAM base for calculating
reserve requirements (Graph 2.4) is due to
the increase in term-deposits and savings
deposits in BAM.

Although the base for calculation of reserve


requirement has been increased on annual
basis, balances of the reserve account with
the CBBH are primarily determined by
the surplus funds held by the banks with
the CBBH over the reserve requirement
(Graph 2.8). The level of bank deposits with
the monetary authorities is determined by
multiple factors. One of them are also the
limits of banking supervisors (the entity
banking agencies) in terms of liquidity,
maturity structure, and foreign exchange risks
that are far stricter than the regulations on
reserve requirements. From the standpoint of
meeting the regulations on liquidity, it is quite

irrelevant to banks whether the excess cash is


held in their own vaults or at the accounts
with the CBBH. The reason for choosing
the latter option, even under the conditions
of low remuneration rates for balances at
the accounts of reserve requirements, are
probably high costs of securing cash in their
vaults, as well as, the possibility to use an
existing platform for interbank money market
if the funds are deposited in accounts with the
CBBH. In any case, the fact is that banks have
substantial liquidity resources as a result of
reducing the duration period up to maturity
of the banks financial liabilities compared to
earlier periods.

2.3 Foreign Exchange Reserves


Management
The process and results of foreign exchange
reserve management by the CBBH, since the
outbreak of the global financial crisis to the
period covered by this Annual Report, were
largely determined with developments in the
financial markets where foreign exchange
reserves are invested in accordance with the
Law on the CBBH. This influence is evident in
the amount of the weighted average interest
rate (WAIR), calculated as the quotient of
interest income on invested foreign reserves
and the average balance of foreign exchange
reserves in the relevant year), systematised in
the following Table overview:

Given that the funds of foreign currency


reserves are invested mainly in securities and
deposits denominated in EUR, the trends of
money market interest rates have the largest
impact on the CBBH interest revenues
(which is a relevant indicator of interest
rates trends on EUR deposits) and the yields
on the securities of the euro area member
states (whereby, for the current structure of
the securities portfolio of the CBBH foreign
exchange reserves, the best indicator is the
movement of the yield rate on one-year or
two-year government bonds with the AAA
rating, denominated in EUR), where the
CBBH invests over 95% of foreign exchange
reserves.

Note:
NMFCR are net monetary foreign currency revenues and
they represent the influence of the effects of foreign exchange
reserve management by the CBBH on the CBBH income
statement. They are calculated as the difference between total
foreign currency monetary revenues and foreign currency

monetary expenses, and they include the interest foreign


exchange revenues, proceeds from the sale of foreign currency
assets and other net foreign currency monetary revenues
(of which the most important are the net effect of exchange
rate differences on monetary gold and foreign currency and
expenses for the commission to non-residents).

trends for bonds)

21

The above data indicate that the weighted


average interest rate on foreign currency
reserves of the CBBH in 2008 amounted
to 4.2%, while in 2013, it dropped to below
0.5% (that is, WAIR in 2008 was nine times
higher than in 2013). This decline is largely
determined by the decline in interest rates
and yields, and frequent fluctuations in rates
in the short term, which was the main feature
of the market in the euro area over the past six
years (Table 2.2 and Graph 2.9). For example,
the three-month Euribor rate20 (Euribor 3m)
in 2008 was 21 times higher than in 2013, that
is, it dropped from 4.64% (as was its average
in 2008) to 0.22% (average in 2013).
Market yields on government securities of
member states of euro area have also had
frequent periods of turbulence, yet with
significantly declining trend.

Although usually the movement of yields


on ten-year government bonds is used as
a benchmark to measure developments in
the bond market,21 given the structure and
characteristics of the foreign exchange reserves
portfolio of the CBBH, the most suitable
benchmarks for comparison of WAIR with
movements in market yields on government
bonds in EUR are the movements of market
yields on bonds with one year until maturity
(in the period from 2008 to 2010) and bonds
with the remaining maturity period of two
years (in the period from 2011 to 2013).
Thus, for example, the yield on one-year
bonds in EUR of AAA rating (EUR AAA 1y)
in 2008 was 64 times higher than in 2013, and
the yield on two-year bonds in EUR of AAA
rating (EUR AAA 2y) in 2008 was 20 times
higher than in 2013.

During the observed and analysed period,


the CBBH has continuously been adapting to
changed circumstances in the international
financial markets. Because the interest rates
on short-term deposits have become very
low, more funds in foreign exchange reserves
have been redirected into securities, more
specifically to those with longer maturity
periods and/or in securities that have lower
credit ratings. In this way, the structure of
foreign exchange reserves has been changed
in terms of higher risk exposure (primarily
credit risks through investments in lowerrated instruments, and market or interest
rate risk by investing in instruments of
longer remaining maturity) so as to achieve a
satisfactory level of interest revenues.
The process of restructuring of foreign
exchange reserves is still ongoing, taking into
account the liquidity, safety and profitability
of the CBBH, in addition to applying a more
active approach to managing the foreign
exchange reserves portfolio, with the aim
to compensate for the low level of interest
revenues. Considering that available forecasts
and expectations of changes in interest rate
and yields, as well as the price of gold and the
dollar exchange rate, all suggest the recovery
in the euro zone to be slow and uneven; it
is expected that the current structure of the
foreign exchange reserves portfolio in the

coming years will not be able to generate


significantly higher levels of annual foreign
currency interest revenues, and therefore no
significantly higher level of the CBBH total
revenues.
In accordance with the Law on the CBBH and
appropriate internal regulations, the CBBH
manages foreign currency reserves based
primarily on the principles of liquidity and
investment security. This implies that, while
maintaining high liquidity of foreign exchange
reserves and acceptable risk exposure, the
CBBH seeks to achieve favourable returns
on invested foreign reserves while ensuring
a high level of security. Decisions on the
management and investment of foreign
exchange reserves are made at three levels
within the CBBH organisation: (1) strategic
- the Governing Board, (2) tactical - the
Investment Committee, and (3) operational organisational forms of the CBBH in charge
of risk management, banking and monitoring
and analysis. The Governing Board approves
the CBBH Guidelines on Foreign Exchange
Reserves Management, which determine
the type and level of risk that the CBBH is
ready to take over, as well as the discretionary
scope for tactical and operational level. The
Investment Committee directs the foreign
exchange reserves management within the
Guidelines and adopts the Operational Rules

42

Central Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina

for the Investment. Organisational forms of the


CBBH in charge of foreign reserves investment,
risk management, monitoring and analysis,
operate in accordance with the Guidelines and
Operational Rules, including the adoption of
operational decisions on investments.
In the process of managing foreign exchange
reserves during 2013, available information
relevant to money and capital markets in the
euro area and the world has been considered
on a daily basis, in addition to the available
forecasts that could affect the investment of
foreign exchange reserves in the current year,
but in the future alike. Further, the CBBH
continually analyses the possibilities and
modalities of the investment policy and foreign
exchange reserve management, and initiates
appropriate changes to investment policy in
order to adapt to market conditions in the
euro zone. Also, the CBBH has continuously
analysed information related to the movement
of yields on the financial markets in which the
foreign exchange reserves have been invested,
as well as the basic macroeconomic indicators
and projections for the relevant country, the
euro zone and the global economy, including
information related to the ratings of foreign
banks in which the CBBH has term-deposits
and funds in the current account and
information on countries that are issuers of
securities represented in the foreign exchange
reserves portfolio of the CBBH in order to
minimise the credit risk.
The foreign exchange reserves portfolio is
primarily exposed to financial risks, namely:
credit, market (interest rate and foreign
exchange risk) and liquidity risk. The CBBH
limits exposure to credit risk by investing
primarily in bonds of selected countries of the
euro zone, and the placement of deposits in
selected central banks in the euro zone, selected
foreign commercial banks and the BIS, provided
that they meet the eligibility standards of the
contracting party. Credit risk management is
carried out by defining eligibility requirements
and restrictions of investments concentration
in each country and each commercial
foreign bank. Eligibility requirements and
the concentration restrictions for the foreign
exchange reserves investing are reviewed and
updated as needed, whilst taking into account

the official announcements of rating agencies


and credit risk indicators obtained by using
internal models for credit risk.
Interest rate risk, or the risk of reducing
the value of the foreign exchange reserves
portfolio due to changes in interest rates is
controlled by benchmark portfolios, as well as
regulating the duration of the total portfolio of
foreign exchange reserves. Foreign currency
risk is a possibility for the CBBH to generate
loss due to changes in the value of foreign
currency assets and liabilities, as a result of
any adverse movement in exchange rates of
foreign currencies, in which the reserves are
denominated, in relation to the local currency.
The CBBH minimizes this risk by holding
foreign exchange reserves mainly in euro,
since the exchange rate of the convertible mark
is pegged to euro. Instruments providing daily
liquidity include deposits and the current
accounts funds with foreign commercial banks
that meet the criteria of credit risk, with the BIS
and with central banks, as well as all the due
funds from all the instruments. The liquidity
risk is controlled by investing foreign exchange
reserves in deposits with short maturities.
Foreign exchange reserves of the CBBH have
been invested during 2013 in accordance with
the Law on the CBBH, the CBBH Guidelines on
the Foreign Exchange Reserves Management
in accordance with the Operational Rules for
the Investment, as well as the instructions of
the Investment Committee.
In 2013, the average daily balance of foreign
exchange reserves amounted to approximately
BAM 6.57 billion, which is by BAM 478 million
more than the average daily balance of foreign
exchange reserves in 2012, when it amounted
to BAM 6.09 billion.
The amount of net foreign assets, which is
the positive difference between the foreign
currency reserves after covering monetary
liabilities (BAM currency in circulation and the
deposits of commercial banks) and liabilities
to non-residents, has fluctuated in 2013 due to
pronounced changes in levels, of both foreign
exchange reserves and monetary liabilities. At
the end of the year, net foreign assets amounted
to BAM 408.11 million, which is by BAM 112.3

Annual Report 2013

43

million or 21.60% less than the value on the


end of 2012. The decrease in net foreign assets
in the amount of BAM 112.3 million is a result
of growth of the monetary liabilities exceeding
the growth of foreign exchange reserves.
Foreign exchange reserves at the end of 2013
amounted to BAM 7.068.34 million and have
increased by 8.6%, or 559.8 million compared
to the end of 2012, while monetary liabilities in
the same period grew by 11.22% or BAM 672.1
million, with an accented increase in deposits
of commercial banks.

of the liquid portfolio have increased. Further,


in order to adjust to such market conditions, a
part of the funds from one component of the
liquid portfolio (deposits with non-resident
banks) was diverted to another component of
the liquid portfolio (treasury bills). The CBBH
has thus restructured its foreign exchange
reserves portfolio, and the share of liquid
portfolio increased from last years 40.43% to
44.18%, while the share of investment portfolio
has decreased from last years 59.57% to 53.50%
of total foreign exchange reserves.

The total foreign exchange reserves at the end


of 2013 amounted to eq. BAM 7,068.3 million,
which is an increase of 8.60% compared to the
end of December 2012, when these amounted
to eq. BAM 6,508.6 million. The structure
of foreign exchange reserves at the end of
2013 comprised investment portfolio with a
share of 53.50%, liquid portfolio with a share
of 44.18% and monetary gold with a share of
2.32%. Liquid portfolio consists of deposits
with central banks, the BIS and foreign banks
(31.37% of total foreign exchange reserves),
cash in the CBBH vault (1.3% of total foreign
exchange reserves), the SDR with the IMF
(0.04% of total foreign exchange reserves)
and treasury bills (11.47% of total foreign
exchange reserves). The balance of deposits
with non-resident banks, as the largest item in
liquid portfolio at the end of 2013 amounted to
BAM 2.22 billion. The average duration of the
portfolio of deposits in 2013 amounted to 21.57
days (36.62 days in 2012), and the fixed-term
foreign currency deposits were made at periods
of one week to six months.

Following the trends of the market, compared


to the end of 2012, funds deposited with nonresident banks have decreased by BAM 116.9
million (5%), while the funds invested in
securities (treasury bills, long-term securities
available for sale and the securities held to
maturity) were increased by BAM 714.9 million
(18.43%).

The investment portfolio consists of long-term


securities: securities available for sale (52.0%
of total foreign exchange reserves) and held
to maturity securities (1.5% of total foreign
exchange reserves). As a safeguard against
credit risk, investments are made in securities
of European countries with a high rating, with
a limit on maximum share of debt instruments
for each country. Modified duration of the
securities portfolio at the end of 2013 was 2.59
years.

Relatively low rate of return earned on


investment in convertible foreign currencies
(Graph 2.11) are the result of low rates of return
on securities and short-term deposits in euro,
which have dominated the financial markets in
2013, and are caused by poor macroeconomic
performance of the euro area (Sub-section 1.1).
More specifically, slow economic growth or even
recession, coupled with high unemployment
rates, are all tendencies that have continued
in the euro area during 2013 as well. Foreign
exchange market, money market and capital
market during 2013, as in the previous three
years, were largely under the pressure of global
events (Sub-section 1.1).

In order to reduce the effect of extremely low


and avoid possible negative interest rates on
deposits, investments in treasury bills as a part

In accordance with the Law on the CBBH, a


part of the profit realised in 2012 in the amount
of BAM 20.5 million was transferred in April
2013 to the account of the BH Ministry of
Finance and Treasury, which is responsible for
the budget of the institutions of Bosnia and
Herzegovina.
The combined effect of all the investments of the
CBBH foreign currency funds in convertible
foreign currency and monetary gold on the
income statement for the period 1 January
to 31 December 2013, amounts to BAM 53.8
million, or 0.83% expressed as the effective rate
of return.22

Effective rate of return


is calculated by dividing
the total investment
effects of foreign
exchange reserves funds
(in gold and convertible
foreign currencies) by
the average balance
of foreign exchange
reserves in the
relevant period. When
calculating the overall
investment effects
of foreign exchange
reserves funds, all of the
net income from interest
on securities and
deposits has been taken
into account, as well
as net realised capital
gains/losses due to the
sale of securities from
the portfolio of foreign
exchange reserves of the
CBBH.

2.4 Cash Management


The amount of money in circulation in
terms of the currency board arrangement is
conditioned by the amount of funds in the
reserve account with the CBBH and it consists
of cash in bank vaults and cash out of banks,
that is, the amount of money circulating in
the economy. While cash in vaults of banks in
recent years has generally had uniform trend
with a pronounced seasonal character, its
constant growth has been recorded in 2013.

Cash outside banks, in the hands of citizens,


has seen a constant upward trend since 2010,
which continued in 2013 (Graph 2.12).
An accentuated demand for cash in the local
currency can have a savings or transaction
character. Given the tendency of citizens to
save in foreign currency, and the absence of
major shocks that could threaten the stability
of the financial sector in 2013, this demand
could first be explained by transaction
requirements, namely due to unofficial cash

Annual Report 2013

flows that are typical of countries with a large


share of the grey economy. A significant
share of unregistered activities and enhanced
periodic demand for cash could be the reason
behind the decision of banks to keep larger
amounts of cash in their own vaults.
Supplying commercial banks with cash is
done through the vaults of the CBBH Main
Units and Branches, based in Sarajevo,
Banja Luka, Mostar and Brko, with
strict adherence to the currency board
arrangement. Communications related to
supply of commercial banks with cash is done
exclusively through the platform of electronic
interbank money market. On 31 December
2013, the total value of cash in circulation
amounted to BAM 2.91 billion. The
circulation included 46,949,861 banknotes
worth BAM 2.78 billion and 246,149,457

coins, worth BAM 126.9 million (Table 2.1).


Compared to the end of 2012, the overall
value of cash in circulation has increased by
BAM 162.4 million (5.91%). The amount of
banknotes, compared to the same period of
the last year, increased by 2,273,077 pieces in
total value of BAM 155.8 million. In 2013, the
amount of banknotes in denominations of
100, 20 and 10 BAM has increased, while the
denominations of 200 and 50 BAM reduced.
The amount of coins in circulation compared
to the same period last year increased by
11,337,117 pieces, worth BAM 6.5 million.
The greatest increase has been recorded in the
amounts of coins of denomination of 5 F (by
3.2 million pieces, that is, 8.23%) and 10 F (by
2.2 million pieces or 3.18%).

Annual Report 2013

The CBBH performs continuous withdrawal


of damaged banknotes that are destroyed
in accordance with applicable regulations.
Withdrawal of damaged and worn-out
banknotes and putting into circulation of new
banknotes series maintain the satisfactory
quality of money in circulation. In 2013,
8,910,504 pieces of damaged banknotes worth
BAM 333.3 million have been destroyed and
4,834 pieces of damaged coins worth BAM
2,717 (Table 2.4).
In 2013, 3,916 pieces of BAM counterfeited
banknotes and coins, with a total value of BAM
50,000, have been registered (Table 2.5). The
number of counterfeited banknotes in relation
to 2012 is 35.84% higher. The number of
registered counterfeited coins in 2013 is 1.48%
lower compared to 2012.
In 2013, coins of 2013 edition have been
received from the producer as follows: 20 F
denomination in the quantity of 2.8 million
pieces, 10 F in the amount of 2.8 million
pieces and 5 F in the amount of 3.4 million
pieces. All features on the coins of 2013 issue
have remained the same as in previous issues.
These coins have been put into circulation
successively as the legal tender in BH through
the CBBH Main Units and Branches.

2.5 Payment System Maintenance


The legal obligation of maintaining the
adequate payment and settlement systems
was met by the CBBH in 2013 as well, Central
Registry of Credits (CRC) and Single Registry
of Transaction Accounts (SRTA) were
maintained and the international clearing
of payments with foreign countries was also
performed.
Interbank payment system in BH recorded
a growth of the number of transactions, but
their total value was lower compared to 2012
(Table 2.6 and Table 18). Having in mind
that in 2013, a stronger economic growth
was recorded compared to the previous
year (Table 01), the decrease of the number
and value of interbank transactions (which
ultimately resulted in the decrease of the
number and value of transactions, which
were carried out through commercial banks)
was in accordance with the growth of the
quantity of money outside banks (Graph 2.12)
and the conclusion that it is very likely that a
considerable number of payment transactions
in the country was not registered.

Central Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina

Decrease of the value of interbank


transactions was caused by the decrease of the
value of transactions performed through the
settlement system in real time, RTGS (Table
19). As in earlier periods, most of transactions
in interbank payment system was performed
in a smaller number of banks; 55.2% of the
total value of transactions in the payment
system was performed through five banks.
Unlike the classical payment system, card
payments significantly increased compared to
the previous periods (Table 2.7). The increase
of turnover on POS terminals was particularly
prominent.
As in BH there is no possibility of using POS
terminals to withdraw cash, and assuming
that holders of cards issued by BH banks

mainly withdrew cash in foreign countries


by ATM terminals, Tables 2.8 and 2.9 suggest
that the significant growth of turnover on
POS terminals in 2013 was mainly due to
the growth of purchase of the goods and
services of residents in BH. Such trend would
certainly be positive from the view of more
efficient payment of goods and services if it
was not caused by the increase of turnover
based on debit cards which, mainly, include
the option of the permitted overdraft based
on current account. On the other hand, a
significant growth of withdrawals of cash
on ATM terminals by holders of cards
issued outside BH was recorded, which is a
positive contribution to the growth of foreign
exchange reserves, and can be caused by a
significant inflow of tourists in BH or higher
possibility of card payments of goods and
services in BH.

Annual Report 2013

Although internet or electronic banking


recorded an upward trend compared to the
previous periods (23.11%), particularly in
case of physical persons, the value of the total
turnover was still so low (BAM 155 thousand
in 2013) that it is not considered a significant
kind of transaction in the payment system of
BH.
CBBH contributed to financial stability also
by maintaining CRC which is updated on
daily basis by data of 29 commercial banks,
18 microcredit organizations, nine leasing
companies and three more institutions.
During 2013, the CRC was accessed 2.75
million times (+2.19% compared to 2012).
The total number of access points to the
Registry is 1.529 and commercial banks
used the highest number of access points,
1.335. They are followed by microcredit
organizations with 155 access points, leasing
companies with 33 and other institutions
with 5 access points.
In the SRTA, in the end of 2013, the data on
279,511 transaction accounts were stored,
out of it 214,686 active and 64,825 blocked
accounts. SRTA was accessed from 1,550
access points which were used by: 29 banks,
10 microcredit organizations, seven leasing
organizations and 66 other state and other
institutions. Organizational units of the
CBBH in the previous year issued the total
of 8,960 statements from Single Registry of
Transaction Accounts, as it follows: Main
Unit Sarajevo: 6,999; Main Unit Mostar: 1,458
and Main Bank of Republika Srpska of the
Central Bank of BH: 503.
In 2013, the CBBH performed international
clearing of payments between BH and Serbian
banks. Through the system of clearing way of
settlement of international payments with
Serbia, the total of 7,929 orders were issued
(+16.28% compared to 2012), whose value
was EUR 122.6 million (+30.96% compared
to 2012). The share of one bank group in this
kind of transactions amounted to 80% of the
total value of orders in 2013.

2.6 The Fiscal Agent Role


According to the concluded contracts in 2013,
the CBBH continued to act as banking and
fiscal agent of the Entity Banking Agencies
and Registries of Securities. According to
the Contract concluded with the Deposit
Insurance Agency of BH, the process was
continued of keeping records on the portfolio
of securities of this institution, which,
according to the agreement of the Deposit
Insurance Agency with a foreign portfolio
manager, is managed by the portfolio manager.
According to the concluded Contract on
performing the tasks of banking and fiscal
agent between the CBBH and Indirect
Taxation Administration of BH (ITA), on the
basis of the Law on Payments in the Single
Account and Revenue Allocation, during
2013, the keeping of single account of ITA for
collection of revenues from indirect taxes was
continued. According to this arrangement,
commercial banks on daily basis transferred
to the account for recording, holding and
allocating revenues of ITA with the CBBH
all the collected revenues, and then, those
revenues, at the order of ITA were allocated
to several accounts by different purposes
according to legal regulations and orders
of ITA. On the basis of the Law on Excise
Duties, in 2013, the process was continued
of collecting the funds paid from the tolls
at the account of ITA with the CBBH, and
the allocation of these funds at the order of
ITA to the Entities and Brko District. The
mentioned transactions were also carried out
on daily basis.
The Ministry of Finance and Treasury of
Bosnia and Herzegovina, according to the
Law on Issuing Debt, Debt and Guarantees of
Bosnia and Herzegovina, is in charge, among
other, of concluding international agreements,
providing funds in the local currency for
servicing due liabilities and keeping records
on BH foreign debt. The CBBH is an agent
of the Ministry in accordance with the
mentioned Law, and also on the basis of the
mutual Agreement on Foreign Debt Servicing
with the Ministry. The CBBH competences
in respect of foreign debt servicing are: on
the basis of the paid coverage in the local
currency, to provide the needed amount
in foreign currency for the account of the

50

Central Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina

Ministry, to perform payments/settlements


in international payment system at the order
of the Ministry, to keep all the accounts
necessary for servicing due liabilities and to
inform the Ministry about everything in a
timely manner. A new Agreement on Foreign
Debt Servicing, initiated also by the Law on
Amendments and Supplements of the Law on
Financing BH Institutions from April 2013
was signed in October 2013.

2.7 Compiling and Creating Statistical


Data
Statistical activities of the CBBH planned for
2013 were realized entirely and in a timely
manner, by which the CBBH continued to
contribute to the realization of the annual
plan of statistical activities in BH. Statistical
activities in the CBBH cover three wider
groups of economic statistics within which
separate statistical research and production
of a higher number of separate statistical
segments and tables are carried out; statistics
of monetary and financial sector; statistics of
balance of payments and government finance
statistics. The applied methodologies are to
the highest possible extent harmonized with
international methodologies and standards,
which makes possible direct international
comparability of data and publishing of
data in the publications of international
institutions (IMF, BIS, ECB). Compilation of
source data is based on the use of the available
administrative data and direct compilation
from reporting units, and adjustment of
the available official statistical data of other
statistical institutions in BH and in foreign
countries. The quality and availability of
administrative data in BH has not reached the
level as in the developed countries, which is a
restriction for statistical production.
The strengthening of cooperation was
continued within the domestic statistical
system in BH, but also at the international
level, through the participation in the
forums, working groups and seminars in
the organization of the UN, Eurostat, OECD
and BIS. With purpose of improving the
quality, consultations and controls of input
data are continuously performed with the
data sources, while users are provided with
explanations and new requirements are met.

With the regular statistical production,


during 2013, modernization and expanding
of statistical activities has continued, with
purpose of providing a better set of information
for the general public and for the CBBH
needs. After the period of preparations and
experimental production, in the beginning of
the year, interest rate statistics was published,
which is harmonized with the methodology
applied in the members of euro system.
This statistics includes 82 indicators on the
weighted average values of interest rates of
commercial banks. Out of the mentioned 82
indicators, 60 are related to the interest rates
for different types of loans of commercial
banks, and 20 are related to interest rates for
deposits with commercial banks. This project
was in the preparation stage supported
by technical assistance programme from
IPA 2008 funds for the CBBH and it was
implemented through the cooperation with
the ECB and the Austrian National Bank. The
CBBH contributed actively to the inclusion
of the domestic statistics into the GDDS
(General Data Distribution System), which is
performed under the organization of the IMF.
Inclusion in this system requires the necessary
transparency and quality of statistical data,
so the CBBH, in the beginning of the year,
together with BH Statistics Agency, worked
hard on fulfilment of the conditions for the
accessing of the GDDS, which was successfully
completed in April 2013. In this way, domestic
economic statistics became more available
and recognizable at the international level.
Beside the regular data dissemination
(through the web site and publications), the
CBBH continued to fulfil special statistical
requirements of the local institutions
(Directorate for Economic Planning, FIPA,
Directorate for European Integration,
Ministry of Finance and Treasury of BH)
and international institutions (IMF, World
Bank, UNCTAD, Eurostat, BIS, UN Statistical
Department).
During 2013, compilation and publishing
of the set of core indicators of financial
soundness
according
to
the
IMF
methodology was continued. Indicators have
been published on quarterly basis on the web
site of the CBBH since mid 2009, and since
September 2011 also on web site of the IMF.
In efforts to provide as more information on

Annual Report 2013

BH financial sector soundness as possible


and to achieve maximum comparability with
the data published by the same methodology
by the other countries in the region, in 2013,
the CBBH has expanded the set of financial
soundness indicators with three new
indicators, which have been published from
the fourth quarter of 2013.
Finally, significant efforts were made in the
upgrading of the information support for
statistical production, therefore modern
technological solutions based on Business
Intelligence and data storing were introduced.
In this way, raising the quality of statistical
processing and controls will be made
possible and processes will be accelerated and
reliability of safekeeping and dissemination of
data will be increased. The work on the new
web portal for statistical data was also started,
which will make possible much more flexible
and easier access to the existing statistical
data.

2.8 Monitoring Systemic Risks in the


Financial System
Although it was not explicitly stated in the
CBBH Law, the CBBH responsibility for
monitoring the stability of the financial
system arises from the articles of the Law
which are related to the role of the CBBH in
the processes related to the financial system
components. The CBBH is directly responsible
institution for maintaining the appropriate
payment and settlement systems, which are
a part of the financial infrastructure, and it
was also assigned a coordination role in bank
supervision. Within Article 4 of the CBBH
Law, which defines international cooperation,
it was stated that the CBBH can cooperate
with relevant international organizations
with purpose of the strengthening of financial
and economic stability of the country.
The CBBH performs a function of monitoring
systemic risks in the financial system which
means timely identification of vulnerabilities
in the financial system of the country. The
purpose of the CBBH activities in this area is
the understanding of cause and consequence
relations between the financial system and
macroeconomic surrounding, the warning of

51

financial institutions and other participants


in the market of the existing risks, and
the initiating dialogue on risks and taking
corrective measures which will reduce the
consequences of risk materialization. The
CBBH activities in the area of monitoring
the financial system stability include also a
specialized communication with relevant
domestic and international institutions
which provides the continuity of the
process of monitoring systemic risks and
communicating on risks for the financial
stability with the general public.
The tasks of coordination of the activities of
the agencies included regular meetings with
the representatives of the Banking Agencies
in accordance with the Memorandum
on Principles of Coordination of Bank
Supervision, continuous exchange of data and
information and coordination of operative
activities with purpose of continuation
and strengthening of cooperation and
insuring harmonization of issues in the
area of preventing money laundering and
terrorism financing. Related to this, the
CBBH participates also in the work in interinstitutional working group established by
the Council of Ministers of BH on the basis
of the Report and recommendation of the
Appointed Council of Europe Committee of
Experts on the Evaluation of the Anti-Money
Laundering Measures and the Financing
of Terrorism (Moneyval), with purpose of
establishing and coordinating measures of
BH institutions conducted in the area of
preventing money laundering and terrorism
financing.23 Beside the Entity Banking
Agencies, the information was continuously
exchanged also with the Deposit Insurance
Agency, which is included in the regular
coordination meetings, and appropriate
cooperation was also maintained with Banks
Association in BH and Association of Microfinancial Organizations in BH.
The CBBH informs the general public on
the risks for the financial stability through
a regular annual publication, the Financial
Stability Report, which has been published
on the CBBH web site since 2007. By
publishing the Financial Stability Report,
the CBBH wishes to point out to the
public the consequences of the previous
macroeconomic trends and the trends in

Moneyval regularly
estimates measures
conducted by the
institutions of the
countries members
of the Council of
Europe by making
periodic evaluation,
preparing reports on
evaluation and giving
recommendations on
improving measures.

Central Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina

financial, primarily banking sector on the


risks and challenges which the financial
system will face in the periods ahead.
In 2013, the CBBH continued its activities
on performing macroeconomic stress tests .
Stress tests in the CBBH have been performed
quarterly and they are the basic tool for the
quantification of the effects of systemic risks
on the banking system. Detailed results of
stress tests are distributed to the Banking
Agencies, which also receive the Report
on the results of stress tests in which the
systemic risks and future trends are presented
in a descriptive way. The results of stress tests
through the appropriate form of the Report
on the results of stress tests are also submitted
to the Standing Committee for Financial
Stability (SCFS) which, beside the Governor
of the CBBH and Directors of Banking
Agencies, includes also the members of the
Fiscal Council and Director of the Deposit
Insurance Agency. The aggregated results
of stress tests on the basis of the end year
data are published in the Financial Stability
Report.
Among the other information and reports
which are in the function of monitoring the
financial system stability, we can stress the
information for SCFS and the set of internal
standardized or ad hoc information which are
primarily created for the needs of the CBBH,
but they can be also distributed to other
relevant institutions. The information for
SCFS are aimed at presenting to the member
institutions the situation and the existing risks
in BH banking system, and the influences
of systemic risks from the real, fiscal and
financial sectors, and the international
environment on the banking sector, which
ensures the exchange of opinions and more
comprehensive observation of relations in the
economy. Standardized or ad hoc information
are primarily created for the needs of the
CBBH, but they can be distributed to other
relevant institutions.
In 2013, the CBBH carried out activities for
the fulfilment of recommendations arising
from the IMF technical mission from May
2012, related to the improvement of the
function of monitoring financial stability.
Therefore, the CBBH, in cooperation with
the Banking Agencies, has defined the

final Methodology for defining the list of


systemically important banks in BH, and
in June 2013, the Memorandum on the
Adoption of the Methodology among these
three institutions was signed and the list of
systemically important banks for BH was
made. By the identification of systemically
important banks in the country, the possibility
was made to use different approaches in
the supervision of these institutions, and in
the creation of the comprehensive plan for
contingencies.

2.9 Cooperation with International


Institutions and Rating Agencies
After signing the Stabilization and
Association Agreement and entry into force
of Interim Agreement, in 2008, Interim
Committee for Stabilization and Association
was initiated as the highest body within the
Process of Stabilization and Association
and joint bodies of BH and European
Commission were set up, whose basic task is
monitoring the progress of BH in fulfilling the
obligations defined by Interim Agreement on
Stabilization and Association. During 2013,
the CBBH continued to contribute to the work
of coordination and expert structures set up
by the Interim Agreement. The competent
departments of the CBBH participated in
the work and preparation of documents and
reports for the Sub-Committee for Economic
and Financial Issues and Statistics.
The CBBH participated in the creation of the
BH attachment for Bosnia and Herzegovina
Progress Report. In evaluation and Progress
Report of the European Commission, the
CBBH monetary policy received a positive
assessment. The European Commission
confirms that the financial and monetary
stability was preserved through the
maintaining of the environment of low
inflation, stressing that the currency board
arrangement still has a high level of credibility.
Since the end of 2012, the CBBH started
to submit the relevant information, data
and explanations for the creation of the
publication of the European Central Bank
Financial Stability Report for Countries
Candidates and Potential Candidates for the

Annual Report 2013

EU Membership, by which BH was included


in the report for the first time. During
2013, cooperation was continued with the
ECB in the mentioned activities, and by the
same principle, the CBBH gave contribution
to the project of the World Bank on the
creation of the second and the third edition
of the World Bank report Perspectives of
the Financial Sector in the Western Balkans.
Publications of this kind will contribute to
better understanding of system risks in the
region and BH position compared to the
other countries.
Despite political delay in the implementation
of reforms and further progress of BH in the
European integration process, the CBBH,
by its own capacities and with the help of
technical cooperation projects, continued
the strengthening of institutional capacities
and conducting activities directed at coming
closer to and harmonizing with the standards
of the European System of Central Banks and
the euro system. Although in 2013, the CBBH
did not realize direct technical cooperation
with the ECB, systemic strengthening
of contacts was continued. Governor
participated in the work of the conference
of the ECB on international cooperation
of central banks as efficient instrument for
transfer of knowledge and preparation for
the EU, and the representative of the CBBH
participated in the meeting of the ESCB Task
Force on Central Bank Cooperation, which
operates within the ESCB Committee for
International Relations.
During 2013, the CBBH continued the
activities on the project of technical assistance
in the area of financial stability with the World
Bank, through FinSAC (Financial Sector
Advisory Centre) from Vienna, which started
in the end of 2012. The project is aimed at
strengthening analytical capacities of the
CBBH in the area of monitoring systemic
risk and supporting the work of Standing
Committee for Financial Stability.
In December 2013, the I stage of the
programme on Strengthening the Public
Institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina
was successfully completed. The objective
of technical cooperation programme of the
CBBH and GIZ with the financial support
of the Federal Ministry for Economic

53

Cooperation and Development of FR


Germany is strengthening capacities of
the CBBH with purpose of improving the
processes of preparations for accessing the
European System of Central Banks and
harmonization with the standards applied in
the EU.
On the basis of the Memorandum between
the CBBH and GIZ, the Operative Plan was
successfully realized which includes the
activities leading to the improvement of the
CBBH operations through the integration of
the existing IT system and development of new
applications with purpose of IT Department
using the customer oriented approach, with
higher transparency and faster delivery of
services to business users. Improvement of
capacities was realized through the advisory
help and training of staff in four areas: risk
management, statistics, cash management
and IT.
Generally, the planned results were achieved,
i.e. much more was achieved than planned
initially. Institutional capacity of the CBBH,
including internal processes and structures
in the CBBH, has been strengthened. The
project insured continuous introduction of
the EU standards and continuation of some
activities started within the earlier projects
with the ECB.
In December 2013, the CBBH and Swiss State
Secretariat for Economic Affairs SECO
signed the Program of Bilateral Assistance
and Building of Central Bank Capacities.
The Programme is implemented by Graduate
Institute of International Studies GIIS,
Geneva. The Agreement will be in effect for
three years (2014-2016). The purpose of the
programme is to provide the CBBH with
the access to technical expertise and better
access to the best international practices,
particularly in the areas of development of

of Finance and Treasury of BH. The first


step of the mentioned technical assistance
was Debt Management Performance
Assessment (DeMPA) in the mentioned
Ministries of Finance and at their invitation.
So, during March, October and December
2013, three different missions from the
World Bank had a number of meetings with
the CBBH and other institutions in BH.
In 2013, in the organization of the CBBH,
a mission of international rating agency
Standard & Poors was held with the relevant
international and domestic institutions in
BH with purpose of assessment of sovereign
credit rating of BH. Political situation,
budget, foreign debt servicing, relations
with international financial institutions
and financial system, were the main issues
for discussion in the assessment of BH
credit rating. The Agency confirmed the
rating B/with Stable Outlook for Bosnia
and Herzegovina.

2.10 Internal Audit Process


Activities of the Office of Chief Audit
Executive (OCAE) in 2013, were aimed at
performing the duties defined by the Law
on the CBBH, realization of tasks and
activities defined by the Plan of Operations
of the CBBH for 2013 and Annual
Internal Audit Plan for 2013. Respecting
the basic objectives of internal audit,

and reports to the Management of the
CBBH on the efficiency of implementing
risk management system, provides
assessment and opinion if the existing
internal control systems detect risks, if
the existing controls are efficient and if all
the segments of operations are covered by
adequate internal control system which
ensures active risk management.
The audit risk assessment is carried
out according to the Risk Assessment
Methodology in the CBBH, which represents
the framework for defining and identifying
risk areas, processes and activities and
establishment of adequate measures for
risk management. According to the criteria
and principles defined by Risk Assessment
Methodology, OCAE, during 2013, made

Strategic Internal Audit Plan for the period


2014 2017, and Annual Internal Audit Plan
for 2014, and both documents were adopted
by the CBBH Governing Board.
Proceeding according to the Internal Audit
Plan for 2013, the audit of some functions,
business processes and activities of the CBBH
was carried out, giving the priority to high level
risk processes, such as: management of foreign
exchange reserves, cash and reserve accounts
of commercial banks; financial operations
and procurements; functionality and safety
of information system; and functioning of
systems of physical and technical protection
in the CBBH buildings, including the overall
information security. Audit was carried out
in the way and according to the procedures
defined by the Manual on Internal Audit
Work, which is continuously harmonized
with legal and international professional
regulations for internal audit area. During

audits, considered by the Audit Committee
and adopted by the Governing Board of the
CBBH, opinion is provided related to the
estimate on efficiency of implementing the
risk management system and functioning of
internal control system, with the proposal of
measures for their improvement.

Annual Report 2013

On 31 December 2013, 349 employees


were employed in the CBBH (Graph 2.13).
The number of employees in the years
immediately following the establishment
of the CBBH increased rather fast as the
number of functions taken over by the
CBBH also increased. In the period 2002
2010, the number of employees increased,
at the average, by 4% a year. Such moderate
growth made possible the development of
the basic functions of the CBBH through the
strategic selection of profile of staff necessary
for further improvement of efficiency of
operations. In the period 2011 - 2013, the
number of employees is almost unchanged,
which is partly a consequence of the policy of
rational use of the available resources.
Out of the total number of staff in the end of
2013, 70.8% had university education (with
a high number of staff with M.Sc., M.A and
Ph.D. degrees) and 22.3% had high school
education.

The average age of employees at the end of


2013 was 44. Graph 2.14 suggests that the
outflow of employees is rather low, and that
the employment policy, particularly in periods
after 2002, was in favour of young staff. The
number of employees with the age over 55
gradually increases, implying that the highest
number of the CBBH employees employed in
the years immediately after the establishment
of the CBBH stayed in the bank. On the
other hand, relatively unchanged share of the
number of employees with the age under 44
implies that the CBBH employment policy
was attracting young staff, who received
additional training in practice and were kept
in the CBBH. Decrease of the number of
employees with the age under 29 over the last
three years implies that the bank employed
less staff than in the years before the crisis
and that all the additional activities were
reallocated to the existing staff members.

internship, who met their obligations in this
way and also acquired knowledge and insight

The Central Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina (the Bank) was established in accordance
with the Law on the Central Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which was adopted by the
Parliamentary Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) on 20 June 1997, according to the
General Framework Peace Agreement in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The Central Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina started its operations on 11 August 1997.
The main objectives and tasks of the Central Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina are:

BASIS FOR PREPARATION

2.1.

Statement of compliance

The financial statements of the Bank have been prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as published by the International Accounting Standards
Board (IASB).
2.2 Basis of measurement
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for the
revaluation of certain financial instruments and monetary gold, which are stated at fair value.
Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for
assets.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that
price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the
fair value of an asset or a liability, the Bank takes into account the characteristics of the asset or
liability which market participants would take into account when pricing the asset or liability
at the measurement date.
Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these financial statements is
determined on such basis, except for measurements that have some similarities to fair value
but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in IAS 2 or value in use in IAS 36.
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into
Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are
observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety,
which are described as follows:
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities that the Bank can access at the measurement date;
Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

2.3.

Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires Management to


make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and their
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.

Annual Report 2013

73

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions
to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the
revision affects only that period or in the period of revision and future periods if the revision
affects both current and future periods.
Information on amounts where significant uncertainty exists in their estimate and critical
judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most impact on the amounts disclosed
in these financial statements are disclosed in Note 3.17.
2.4.

Functional and presentation currency

The Banks financial statements are stated in the official national currency of Bosnia and
Herzegovina which is the Convertible Mark (KM). All financial information has been rounded
to the nearest thousand (unless otherwise indicated).
The official exchange rate of KM to the Euro (EUR) has been defined by the Law on the Central
Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina as KM 1.95583 = EUR 1. As required by the Law, the Bank
is obliged to purchase and sell KM for EUR on demand, without any restrictions, within the
territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina, at the defined exchange rate.
The Law on the Central Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina defines the operational rules for a
currency board to be used for issuing KM, according to which KM is issued only with the
purchase of convertible foreign exchange currency with full coverage in net foreign assets.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies set out below have been applied in the preparation and presentation of
these annual financial statements.
The Banks accounting policies applying to the reporting date as at 31 December 2013 and
onwards differ from the accounting policies applied in the preparation and presentation of the
last annual financial statements in the part of recognition of foreign exchange differences from
conversion of prices of gold from USD to Convertible Mark (see Note 3.6.).
3.1

Interest income and expenses

Interest income and expenses are recognized in the income statement using the effective interest
method. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash
payments and receipts through the expected life of the financial asset or liability (or, where
appropriate, a shorter period) to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or liability.
When calculating the effective interest rate, the Bank estimates future cash flows considering all
contractual terms of the financial instrument, but not future credit losses.
The calculation of the effective interest rate includes all transaction costs and fees and points
paid or received that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. Transaction costs include
incremental costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of a financial asset or
liability.
Interest income and expenses presented in the income statement include interest on financial
assets and financial liabilities measured at amortized cost calculated on an effective interest basis.
3.2.

Fee and commission income and expenses

Fee and commission income and expenses that are integral part to the effective interest rate on a
financial asset or liability are included in the measurement of the effective interest rate.
Other fee and commission income and expenses mainly comprise fees earned and spent on
domestic and foreign payment transactions for financial instruments issued and received by the
Bank, respectively and are recognized in the income statement upon performance of the relevant
service.
3.3

Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate
prevailing on the settlement date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated
in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the
exchange rate applicable at that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured
based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of
the transaction and are not retranslated at the reporting date.
Foreign exchange differences arising on retranslation of transactions and the assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the income statement.

76

3.4.

Central Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina

Dividend income

Dividend income from equity securities is recognized in the income statement when the Banks
right to receive income is established.
3.5.

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Bank becomes a party to the
contractual provisions of the financial instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs
that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities
are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as
appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of
financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized directly
in profit or loss.
The Bank classifies its financial instruments in the following categories: held-to-maturity
investments, loans and receivables, financial assets available-for-sale and other financial
liabilities.
Method of effective interest rate
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial asset
or a financial liability (or group of financial assets or financial liabilities) and of allocating
interest income or interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the
rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including all fees on
points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs
and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial instruments, or,
where appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial
liability.
3.5.1. Financial assets
Financial assets are recognized and derecognized on the settlement date on which the purchase
or sale of an instrument is delivered to or by the Bank, and are initially measured at fair value,
plus transaction costs, except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit
or loss, which are initially measured at fair value.
The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined
at the time of initial recognition.
Loans and receivables
Receivables (including deposits with foreign banks) that have fixed or determinable payments
that are not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables.
Loans and receivables are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs.

Annual Report 2013

77

After initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest rate method, less any impairment. Interest income is recognized by applying
the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when the recognition of interest
would be immaterial.
Held-to-maturity investments
Government debt securities with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity dates that
the Bank has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity
investments. Held-to-maturity investments are recorded at amortized cost using the effective
interest method less any impairment, with revenue recognized on an effective yield basis.
Financial assets available-for-sale (AFS)
Debt and equity securities held by the Bank are classified as being AFS and are stated at fair
value. Fair value is determined in the manner described in the Note 28. Gains and losses arising
from changes in fair value of debt and equity securities are recognized directly in equity in the
fair value reserve account with the exception of impairment losses, interest calculated using the
effective interest rate method and foreign exchange gains and losses on financial assets, which
are recognized directly in profit or loss. Where the investment is disposed of or is determined to
be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in the fair value reserve account
in equity is included in profit or loss for the period.
Dividends on AFS equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the Banks right to
receive payments is established.
The fair value of AFS financial assets denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that
foreign currency and translated at the middle exchange rate at the reporting period date. The
change in fair value attributable to translation differences that result from a change in amortized
cost of the asset is recognized in profit or loss and other changes are recognized in equity.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting date. Financial
assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that
occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of
the investment have been impacted.
Objective evidence of impairment could include:
significant financial difficulty of the counterparty; or
default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or
it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation.
Individually significant financial assets are tested for impairment on an individual basis. The
remaining financial assets are assessed collectively. Those individually significant assets which
are not identified as impaired are subsequently included in the basis for collective impairment
assessment. For the purposes of a collective evaluation of impairment, financial assets are
grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.

78

Central Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina

For financial assets carried at amortized cost, the amount of the impairment is the difference
between the assets carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows,
discounted at the financial assets original effective interest rate.
The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account.
When a receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account.
Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance
account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognized in profit or
loss.
With the exception of AFS equity instruments, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the
impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring
after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed
through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the
impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the
impairment not been recognized.
In respect of AFS equity securities, any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss
is recognized directly in equity.
Derecognition of financial assets
The Bank derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from
the asset expire; or it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of
ownership of the asset to another entity.
3.5.2. Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified as other financial liabilities.
Other financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities, including currency in circulation, deposits from the local commercial
banks and deposits from the Government and other depositors, are initially measured at fair
value, plus transaction costs.
Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective
interest method, with interest expense recognized on an effective yield basis.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Bank derecognizes financial liabilities when, and only when, the Banks obligations are
discharged, cancelled or they expire.
3.6.

Monetary gold

On 31 March 2009 the Bank started to hold monetary gold as part of its foreign reserves. Gold is
initially recognized at cost, being the fair value of the consideration given including acquisition
charges associated with the investment. After initial recognition, the gold is re-measured at
fair value. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value, referring to price changes and

Annual Report 2013

79

foreign exchange differences from conversion from USD to Convertible Mark are recognized
directly in the fair value reserve in equity and reported as other comprehensive income, until
the asset is sold, when they are recognized as realized gains or losses in the income statement.
The fair value of monetary gold is expressed in American dollars (USD), converted at the
middle exchange rate as published by the Bank at the reporting date, and is measured at the last
bid price for one ounce of gold (Oz) at the reporting date quoted on Reuters.
In 2013, the Bank has changed policy regarding the recognition of foreign exchange gains
and losses from conversion of prices of gold from USD to Convertible Mark in order to be
recognized as a part of fair value adjustments recognized directly in the fair value reserve
in equity. As a result, profit for the year ended 31 December 2013 is increased by KM 7,319
thousand (out of which KM 6,605 thousand is from 2013, and KM 714 thousand from 2012).
If the new accounting policy is applied retroactively, comparatives for 2012 (fair value reserve
for gold and foreign exchange gains) should be restated in the amount of KM 714 thousand.
However, as this amount was considered as immaterial and correction of error was considered
as impracticable in accordance to the International Accounting Standard 8: Accounting
Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, (paragraphs 50 - 52), the Bank has not
restated comparatives for 2012.

3.7.

Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise the following
balance sheet categories: giro accounts, foreign currency in cash, foreign currency demand
deposits, and deposits with remaining maturity up to three months and Special Drawing Rights
in the International Monetary Fund.
3.8.

Property, equipment and intangible assets

Properties, equipment and intangible assets consist of assets obtained from the Banks own
funds and cash and non-cash grants.
Properties, equipment and intangible assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and
any recognized accumulated impairment losses. The purchase cost includes the purchase price
and all costs directly related to bringing the asset into operating condition for its intended use.
Maintenance and repairs, replacements and improvements of minor importance are expensed
as incurred. Significant improvements and replacement of assets are capitalized.
Property, equipment and intangible assets are periodically reviewed for impairment. Where
the carrying amount of an asset is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, it is written
down immediately to its recoverable amount.
Assets in course of construction are reported at their cost of construction including costs
charged by third parties. Upon completion, all accumulated costs of the asset are transferred
to the relevant property and equipment category and subsequently subject to the applicable
depreciation rates.

80

Central Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina

Depreciation is provided on all assets except assets in the course of construction on a straightline basis at prescribed rate designed to write off the cost of the assets over their estimated
useful lives. The estimated depreciation rates during 2012 and 2013 were as follows:
Software
Other intangible assets
Buildings
Equipment
Furniture
Vehicles

20.0%
20.0%
1.3% do 4.0%
11.0% do 20.0%
10.0% do 12.5%
15.5%

Gains and losses on disposal of property and equipment are recognized in the income statement.
3.9.

Impairment of non-financial assets

The carrying amounts of the Banks non-financial assets are reviewed at each reporting date
to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists,
the assets recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognized whenever
the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount.
Impairment losses are recognized in the income statement.
The recoverable amount of other assets is the greater of their value in use and fair value less
cost to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their
present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time
value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate largely
independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit
to which the asset belongs.
An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine
the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the assets
carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net
of depreciation or amortisation, as if no impairment loss had been recognized.
3.10.

Provisions for liabilities and charges

Provisions are recognized when the Bank has a present legal or constructive obligation as a
result of past events for which it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic
benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount of the
obligation can be made. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash
flows at a rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks
specific to the liability.
Provisions for liabilities and charges are maintained at the level that the Banks management
considers sufficient for absorption of incurred losses. The management determines the sufficiency
of provisions on the basis of insight into specific items, current economic circumstances, risk
characteristics of certain transaction categories, as well as other relevant factors.

Annual Report 2013

81

Provisions are released only for such expenditure in respect of which provisions are recognized
at inception. If the outflow of economic benefits to settle the obligations is no longer probable,
the provision is reversed.

3.11. Grants
Grants related to assets, including non-cash grants, are initially recognized as deferred income
at fair value and are then recognized as income from grants on a systematic basis over the
useful life of the assets. Grants that compensate the Bank for expenses incurred are recognized
in income statement as income from grants on a systematic basis in the same periods in which
the expenses are recognized.
3.12. Taxes
According to Article 69 of the Law on the Central Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Bank
is not subject to any taxes and duties on its assets, property and income, and on its operations
and transactions. Payroll taxes and other taxes and duties on salaries are not covered by this
exemption.
3.13.

Currency in circulation

The Bank administers the issue and withdrawal of domestic bank notes and coins. The
corresponding liability from the issued currency in circulation is recorded in the balance sheet.
When currency is withdrawn from circulation, it is recognized as a liability as part of currency
in circulation, until the formal date of withdrawal. Any outstanding amount not withdrawn,
after the formal due date, is recognized as income.
Costs related to the production and design of banknotes and coins are initially recognized as a
deferred cost and subsequently amortized through other operating expenses over a period of
three years.
3.14.

Managed funds for and on behalf of third parties

The Bank maintains certain accounts in foreign currencies related to agreements concluded
between the governments of Bosnia and Herzegovina and its constituent entities and foreign
governments and financial organisations, as well as foreign currency accounts of state
institutions and agencies, and of commercial banks, for which the Bank acts as an agent.
3.15.

Employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits


In accordance with local regulations, on behalf of its employees, the Bank pays personal
income tax and contributions for pension, disability, health and unemployment insurance, on
and from salaries, which are calculated as per the set legal rates during the course of the year

82

Central Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina

on the gross salary. The Bank pays those tax and contributions in the favour of the institutions
of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (on federal and cantonal levels), Republika Srpska
and Brko District.
In addition, meal allowances, transport allowances and vacation bonuses are paid in accordance
with the local legislation. These expenses are recognized in the income statement in the period
in which the expense is incurred.
Long-term employee benefits
According to local legal requirements, employees of the Bank are entitled to receive a one-time
benefit on retirement, provided legal conditions are met, such as the age or years of service,
which in accordance with the Banks internal Acts is based on six regular monthly salaries paid
to the respective employee in the last six months.
Such payments are treated as long-term employee benefits which are calculated annually by
independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The discount rate used in the
calculation of the liability is based on interest rates of domestic corporate bonds and government
bonds which exist on the market.

3.16. Financial arrangements of Bosnia and Herzegovina with the International


Monetary Fund
According to the financial arrangements made at the end of 2002 between Bosnia and
Herzegovina and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the balance sheet of the Bank
includes the following items related to Bosnia and Herzegovinas membership of the IMF:
holdings of Special Drawing Rights (SDRs), accrued interest on such SDR holdings and the
IMF No. 1 account and IMF No. 2 account.
Other assets and liabilities related to the IMF, belonging to or being the responsibility of Bosnia
and Herzegovina, are recorded in a special Trust Fund within off-balance-sheet records (see
also Note 29).
3.17.

Critical accounting judgements and key source of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the Banks accounting policies, which are described in Note 3, the
Management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates
and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are
considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to
accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision
affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects
both current and future periods.

Annual Report 2013

83

Key assumptions and estimates relating to material balance sheet items are presented below.
Fair value of assets
The Banks policy is to disclose fair value information on those financial assets and financial
liabilities for which public market information is readily available or such value may be calculated
by applying some alternative valuation techniques, and whose fair value is materially different
from their recorded amounts. According to the Banks management, amounts presented in
the financial statements reflect the most reliable and useful estimate of fair value for financial
reporting purposes, in accordance with IFRS.
Depreciation and amortisation charge and rates applied
The calculation of depreciation and amortisation, as well as depreciation and amortisation
rates are based on the assessed economic useful life of property, equipment and intangible
assets. Once a year, the Bank assesses economic useful life based on current assumptions.

FINANCIAL ASSETS AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE

RISK MANAGEMENT

The major financial risks to which the Bank is exposed are as follows:


Liquidity risk
Market risk
Credit risk.

This note presents information about the Banks exposure to each of the above risks, the Banks
objective, policies and procedures for measuring and managing risks.
Given that the primary purpose of the Bank is to preserve monetary stability in Bosnia and
Herzegovina, its financial risk framework is different from the framework of commercial
banks. The majority of financial risks in the Bank occur based on the management of foreign
currency reserves and based on financial market operations.
The Bank seeks to ensure that strong and effective risk management and control system are in
place for identifying, assessing, monitoring and managing risk exposures. Risk management
and estimation of the level of acceptable risk is a continuous process and the integral element
of the Banks business strategy. By instruments of business policy and control mechanisms
through the level of the Governing Board of the Bank, the Management, Audit Committee and
Investment Committee of the Bank, completeness in risk management is provided. Holding
foreign exchange reserves in convertible currency at fixed exchange rate arrangement, investing
in short term deposits with fixed interest rate in foreign banks with high credit ratings and in
quality securities are the basic principles of managing liquidity risk, foreign exchange, interest
rate and credit risk.
27.1.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Bank will encounter difficulties in meeting obligations
associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial
asset.
The ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management lies with the Management, which
has created an adequate framework for the management of liquidity risk. The Bank manages
this type of risk by investing mainly in short-term deposits with foreign banks and in securities
with maturities within seven and half years and by constantly monitoring the projected and
actual cash flows.
The following tables present the Banks remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative
financial liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of
financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Bank can be required to pay. The
table includes both interest and principal cash flows.

Central Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates, equity prices and
foreign exchange rates will affect the Banks income or the value of its holdings of financial
instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk
exposures with acceptable parameters, while optimising the return on risk.
27.2.1 Foreign exchange risk
The Bank is exposed to currency risk through transactions in foreign currencies. This is the risk
that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange
rates. Foreign currency exposure arises from deposit and investment activities.
The control and management of the foreign exchange risk is based on the strict adherence to
the provisions of the Law on the Central Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Guidelines
of the Central Bank on investment of the foreign exchange reserves.
The above framework defines the limits for holding assets and liabilities in each foreign
currency. The biggest part of monetary assets is held in EUR, and the maximum amount that
can be held in other convertible currencies, subject to the changes in the market rate, must not
exceed 50% of the total amount of the capital and the reserves of the Bank.

27.2.2. Interest rate risk


The Banks exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates is concentrated in its investment
portfolio. The Banks operations are subject to the risk of interest rate fluctuations to the extent
that interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities mature or reprice at different time or
in different amounts.
The Bank is exposed to interest rate risk through investment of foreign currency reserves.
The Bank manages its investment portfolio with the aim to minimize interest rate risk. The
investments bear different interest rates, depending on the time period of the investment, with
the maximum term of investment being one year for deposits and seven and half years for
securities.

27.2.2.1. Interest rate risk - Sensitivity analysis


The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates
for financial assets and financial liabilities at the balance sheet date and the assumed change of
interest rate taking place at the beginning of the financial year and held constant throughout
the reporting period.
The table below provides an sensitivity analysis of the Banks interest rate exposures in main
currencies based on the sensitivity range of +30/-5bp (2012: +30/-5bp) depending on the
currency (which reflects Banks assessment of the possible change in interest rates). A positive
number indicates an increase in income statement and increase in equity where the rates
according to new scenario are higher, i.e. lower then as of reporting dates.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Bank if counterparty to a financial instrument
fails to meet its contractual obligation and rises principally from the Banks deposits with other
banks and investments into securities (foreign currency reserves). The management of this risk
is performed through the selection of counterparties with sound credit ratings, by limiting the
maturity, and by controlling the volume and the dynamics of investment. The credit ratings are
continuously monitored on a daily basis.
For the funds recorded in off-balance sheet records, the Bank is not exposed to credit risk, as
all the risk, which may result from the investments of these funds, is to be borne contractually
by the owners of these funds (see also Note 29).

DOMESTIC PAYMENT AND SETTLEMENT SYSTEM

Pursuant to the law on the Central Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina the Bank is responsible for the establishment and maintenance of domestic payment and settlement systems. The
Bank has established two settlement systems from January 2001 in order to facilitate efficient
settlement of domestic interbank payment transactions: Real Time Gross Settlement System
(RTGS) and Giro Clearing System (GCS).
Credit risk
RTGS enables participants, i.e. the Bank and licensed commercial banks, to effect individual
and prompt settlement of one by one (gross) payments by crediting and debiting settlement
accounts held with the Central Bank in domestic currency. Through GCS the Bank provides
clearing services arising from transmitted payment orders in accordance with the principle of
multilateral clearing.
Each participant in the payment systems is obliged to cover its settlement account held with
the Bank prior to settlement of payment orders and must meet certain technical requirements.
Pursuant to the role of the Bank as defined by the Law on the Central Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Bank does not provide any credit to RTGS and GCS participants which would
provide liquidity to the system in any form.

Annual Report 2013

121

Operational risk
With the aim of minimising operational risk within the domestic payment and settlement
system, operating rules for RTGS and GCS have been issued, which define minimum security
standards for operation of the systems.
Relevant security objectives, policies and procedures aim to ensure security measures and
features. The computer systems and the networks are operated according to established
objectives and policies. The security objectives and policies are reviewed periodically. Each
direct participant is also required to have appropriate security measures and controls for
processing payments.
The Bank has defined the following Contingency Settlement Procedures:
Contingency plans and measures: the Bank has defined contingency measures in order
to ensure continuity of reliable, correct and lawful operation of the payment and settlement
systems in the event of disruption to the regular payment and settlement system, or other
contingency events;
Backup locations: the Bank has set up primary and backup location, as well as DR (Disaster
Recovery) location located in Main Bank of Republika Srpska of the Central Bank of Bosnia
and Herzegovina in Banja Luka. All locations are capable of operating under contingency
measures, whose appropriateness and effectiveness has been regularly tested.
Management of the Bank believes that the system has sufficient capacity to maintain operational
reliability, which has never been jeopardised since the implementation of the system.

Monetary data are updated based on the new methodology from January 2006.
See note on page 173.
Note:
Cash outside monetary authorities is obtained from the CBBH Balance Sheet and it represents the currency in circulation outside the central bank (monetary
authorities). Deposits of commercial banks are commercial banks assets in accounts at the CBBH. Transferable deposits of other domestic sectors with monetary
authorities are deposits of other domestic sectors (except the central government deposits). The central government includes the BH Institutions, entity
governments, entity social security funds and the Brko Distrikt. Social security funds on entity level (from the Federation of BH: FBH Pension Fund, FBH Health
Fund, FBH Unemployment Fund, and from Republika Srpska: RS Pension Fund, RS Health Care Fund, RS Unemployment Fund and RS Child Care Fund) are
classified on the central government level. Cash outside banks is obtained from the CBBH Balance Sheet (Table 8) and consists of currency in circulation that is
outside the Central Bank as well as commercial banks. Transferable deposits in domestic currency are obtained from the Monetary Survey (Table 7). They include
deposits of non central government (cantons and municipalities), deposits of public and private enterprises, other financial institutions and deposits of other
domestic sectors (households, nonprofit institutions and other nonclassified domestic sectors). Other deposits in the domestic currency, transferable and other
deposits in foreign currency are obtained from the Monetary Survey (Table 7). They consist of deposits of non-central government, deposits of public and private
enterprises, other financial institutions and deposits of other domestic sectors. Reserve money (primary money or monetary base) is carried over in full from the
CBBH Balance Sheet (Table 8). It consists of cash outside monetary authorities, deposits of commercial banks and deposits of other domestic sectors (except for
deposits of the central government) with monetary authorities. According to the national deffinition, broad money includes all transferable and other deposits
of domestic non-bank and non-government sectors, as well deposits of the local government sector in domestic and foreign currency. Deposits of entity social
security funds are included into the central government on entity level and are consequently excluded from broad money or monetary aggregates. Monetary
aggregate M1 comprises cash outside banks and transferable deposits in domestic currency of all domestic sectors (except for deposits of the central government).
Monetary aggregate QM (quasi money) is defined as the corresponding item in the Monetary Survey (Table 7). It consists of other deposits in domestic currency,
transferable and other deposits in foreign currency of all domestic sectors (except for deposits of the central government). Money supply M2 comprises monetary
aggregates, M1 and QM.

Monetary data are updated based on the new methodology from January 2006.
See note on page 173.
Note:
The Monetary Survey presents the consolidated data from the Balance Sheet of CBBH - monetary authorities (Table 8) and the Consolidated Balance Sheet of
commercial banks of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Table 9). Foreign assets (net) represent the difference between total foreign assets and total foreign liabilities of
monetary authorities and commercial banks. Domestic credit represents commercial banks claims on all domestic sectors, but it should be noted that claims
on the central government are presented in net amounts, i.e. they are reduced by the value of the deposits of the central government with the CBBH and with
BH commercial banks. The central government consists ofBH Institutions, entity social security funds and Brko Distrikt. According to the new methodology,
social security funds are classified on the central government level as entity extrabudgetary funds, which directly impacts the data on net claims by the central
government in the Monetary Survey.

Monetary data are updated based on the new methodology from January 2006.
See note on page 173.
Note:
Central government deposits include transferable and other deposits of BH Institutions, entity governments, entity social security funds and the Brko District
in domestic and foreign currency. Transferable and other deposits of other domestic sectors in domestic and foreign currency represent banks liabilities towards
non-central government (canton and municipality governments), public non financial enterprises, private non financial enterprises, other financial institutions
and liabilities to other domestic sectors (households, nonprofit institutions and other nonclassified domestic sectors). Foreign liabilities of commercial banks
include banks liabilities to non-residents based on transferable and other deposits, loans, securities other than shares, trade credits and advances and other
accounts payable. According to the new methodology, loans are presented as a separate financial instrument on the liability side, with addition of accrued interest.
Shares and other equity include owners equity, retained earnings, current-year results, general and special reserves and valuation adjustment. Other items (net)
are unallocated liability items after deduction of unallocated asset items. Restricted deposits are also included in other items (net).

Note:
From June 1st, 2003 the following changes were made in calculation of required reserves: the required reserves rate was reduced from 10% to 5%, foreign
currency deposits and borrowing were included in the base for calculation of required reserves, in addition to deposits in KM, while cash holdings in
banks vaults were eliminated as an eligible asset for maintenance of required reserves.
From September 1st, 2004 the reserve requirement was increased to 7,5% and from December 1st, 2004 it was increased to 10%.
From December 1st, 2005 the required reserves rate was 15%. The remuneration rate was calculated as follows: - on the amount a given bank is required
to maintain as required reserves - 0,5%, - on the amount in excess of the required reserve on the basis of an arithmetic average and/or weighted average
of interest rates which the Central Bank earned in the same period on deposits invested up to a month.
From January 1st, 2008 the required reserves rate was increased from 15% to 18%.
From October 11th, 2008 the required reserves rate was decreased from 18% to 14%.
From January 1st, 2009 the required reserves rate was 14% on deposits and borrowed assets with contracted maturity up to one year and 10% on deposits
and borrowed assets with contracted maturity over one year.
From May 1st, 2009 the required reserves rate was 7% on deposits and borrowed assets with contracted maturity over one year.
From April 1 st, 2009 the remuneration rate was calculated as follows:
- on the amount of required reserves it is 0,5%,
- on the amount in excess of required reserves, at the rate calculated as an average of interest rates earned by the Central Bank on deposits invested up
to one month.
From July 1, 2010 the remuneration rate on the amount of required reserves is changed and calculated as an average of interest rates, which were earned
by the Central Bank on overnight deposits in the same period, while the remuneration rate on the amount of excess reserves remained unchanged.
From February 1st, 2011 the required reserves rate on deposits and borrowed assets with contracted maturity up to one year was declined from 14% to
10%, while required reserves rate on deposits and borrowed assets with contracted maturity over one year was not changed.
From August 1, 2011 the remuneration rate is calculated as the weighted average interest rate which was earned by the Central Bank of BH in the market
on deposits invested up to a month in the same period; 70% of this rate is applied for the amount of required reserves, and 90% of the same rate on the
amount of excess reserves.
*Until 2003, the assets in banks vaults were included in total funds for required reserves maintenance.
**Data on average required reserves for 2003 are not applicable due to a change in calculation of required reserves from June 1, 2003.

Note:
The share of BH exports to a country in the total BH exports in 2010 was used as a criterion for selecting the mode of presentation of a given country of destination.
Therefore, all countries with an export share over 4% of total BH exports for 2010 are presented separately, while other countries are grouped together in the
column Other countries.
Until February 12, 2007 , the data on exports to Serbia and Montenegro were presented as exports to Serbia, and since then exports to Serbia and Montenegro are
presented separately.

Note:
Foreign direct investment (flows and stocks) are compiled in accordance with the most recent methodological standards and instructions of the International
Monetary Fund (IMF) and Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The detailed methodological approach to compilation and
dissemination of Foreign Direct Investment is presented in the IMF Balance of Payments Manual, sixth edition and the OECD Benchmark Definition of Foreign
Direct Investment, fourth edition. Implementation of the new methodology resulted in the following changes:
- treatment of inter-company loans and other liabilities for financial intermediaries (transactions within this category, other capital withdrawals and repayments
of this type of debt are excluded from Foreign Direct Investment, and are now included in the category of Other Investment);
- recording of dividends (dividends are recorded for the period when they are paid out, and not for the period when they were earned as it had been the case in
accordance with the previous methodology);
- investment of related companies are included as foreign direct investment in the Other capital category, while for the BoP purposes these investments are now
excluded from other investment. (Companies from different economies are related companies if both have the same foreign direct investor usually from a third
economy or from the economy where the related company is based).
In accordance with these methodological changes, the 2004-2009 data series were also revised.
* Includes the value of reinvested earnings, which is only collected on the annual basis.
** Since 2007, data includes FDI from Serbia, while prior to 2007, the data included FDI from Serbia and Montenegro.
... in this industry/country there are less than three companies that received foreign direct investment and, in accordance with statistical standards, we are not
permitted to publish the investment data.

Note:
Revised REER and NEER data are enclosed, their revision was done due to the changes in the methodology for their calculation.
In the calculation of NEER there has been a change in weights, and in the exchange rate of KM. According to the new methodology, weight is calculated on the
sum of the total trade for three consecutive years (for the years 2005, 2006 and 2007 - the weight is calculated on the sum of total trade from 2005 to 2007, for 2008,
2009 and 2010, the sum of the total trade in 2008 - 2010. and for 2011, 2012 and 2013, it is calculated by using the values 2011 2013). Also, according to new
methodology, exchange rate is expressed as the number of units of foreign currency per one KM.
In the calculation of REER, apart from above changes that are related to REER also, there was a change in expressing CPI index, where the price index is set
inversely.
The index created on the basis of twenty trade partners (Austria, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland, Slovenia,
Croatia, China, United Kingdom, FYR Macedonia, Romania, Russian Federation, USA, Serbia and Montenegro - since 2007. only Serbia is observed, Switzerland
and Turkey).

Note:
Revised data for the periods: January 2008 March 2009 and December 2011 August 2012 due to reclassification of financial instruments with one bank in FBH.
Due to the application of International Accounting Standards (IAS) and the International Financial Reporting Standards applied in BH Federation banks and the
transfer of money flows in December 2011 data, the following changes have occurred at the assets side: Decrease of loans by KM 155 million, an increase in other
assets by KM 10 million, at the liabilities side: decrease of liabilities to non-residents in the amount of KM 624 million, an increase in loan losses provisioning by
KM 472 million and other liabilities increased by KM 7 million.
By order of the FBH Banking Agency, in June 2010, one bank made a reclassification of about KM 300 million claims based on securities of domestic institutional
sector to the claims on nonresidents. In December 2010, the same bank made this reclassification retroactive in the respective amounts for the period from August
2009 when the error occurred, until May 2010. The above reclassification reflects an increase in foreign assets and decrease in other items net.
One bank from FBH made a reclassification of financial instruments in the foreign assets amounting to about KM 40 million for the period January - August 2010.
Claims on loans to non-residents were reclassified in foreign securities of non-residents, which resulted in changes in the short term and long term foreign assets.
By order of the Banking Agency of Republika Srpska, one bank made a reclassification of financial instruments on the liabilities side, for the period of September
2008- November 2010, i.e. the decrease in time and savings deposits of non-bank financial institutions and government sector, and the increase in loans from the
same sectors, respectively in such amounts, per month, ranging from KM 50-150 million.
In accordance with new regulations of the RS Banking Agency, published in the Official Gazette of RS, no.136/10, which provides a new manner of recording
receivables classified in category E, accounting and bookkeeping of recording interest on non-performing assets and calculation of provisions for loan losses,
RS banks implemented mentioned regulations in the data for December 2010, and the transfer of these items from off-balance records into balance sheet. The
correction is reflected on the assets side, as increase of loans in the amount of about KM 144 million, and increase of accrued interest of approximately KM 36
million, and on the liabilities side, as increase in provisioning for loan losses amounting to about KM 180 million on the capital account.
