Economy of Bosnia & Herzegovina, Its People, Culture & Flag

People of Bosnia & Herzegovina

Bosnia has no majority in a single ethnic group, in fact, the 1991 census showed that the country is made up of 44 percent of Muslims, 31 percent of Serbs, 17 percent of Croats, 6 percent of Yugoslavs (people of mixed Muslim, Serb, and Croat ancestry), and 2 percent of others.
Bosnia also has a small number of Roma (Gypsies) as well as a small section of Jews. Until independence, most of the people were urbanized, following a well-standard life style while the lesser well-off stayed in rural areas. But the war and the subsequent crash of economy have resulted in a drop in the standard of living and have seen many former working-women being confined to homes as mothers and housewives.

Economy of Bosnia & Herzegovina

As Bosnia has rich natural resources, the economy is mainly governed by mining, forestry, agriculture, and some sectors of light and heavy manufacturing, notably of armaments. But the country had to pay a high price for war in terms of a shattering economy whose recovery is slowly picking up only now. Though the country exported specialty agricultural products, such as fruit and tobacco, it had to import
staples, including more than half its food.
