The Central Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina (CBBH) estimated the annual core inflation for January 2026 at 4.17 percent. The annual growth of average consumer prices in the service sector is estimated at 4.90 percent.
The CBBH estimate of core inflation based on official statistical data is 63 basis points (bp) above the estimate from the December round of quick estimates, mostly due to a change in the weights for the subsections included in the calculation of core inflation.
According to official statistical data, in January 2026, inflationary pressures, on an annual basis, slightly weakened in the price sections included in the calculation of basic inflation.
At the same time, the levels of the annual core and inflation in the service sector, for the first month of 2026, do not differ significantly compared to the levels recorded for the whole of 2025, the CBBH points out.
