Three months after Bosnia and Herzegovina was placed on the Moneyval grey list for strategic deficiencies in combating money laundering and terrorist financing, the nation’s banking and economic sectors are facing significant disruptions. International financial transactions have slowed considerably, with cross-border payments increasing from a 48-hour window to between 7 and 10 days due to mandatory checks. Edis Ražanica, director of the Association of Banks of Bosnia and Herzegovina, stated that these administrative burdens “increase the costs of realizing transactions.” The economic consequences include a 3 percent decline in foreign direct investment and a roughly 10 percent decrease in cross-border payment volume. Experts suggest the reduction in capital inflows could impact GDP by as much as 7 to 8 percent, creating risks for exporters regarding liquidity, financing costs, and revenue collection. Furthermore, the grey list status poses a reputational risk that may deter new foreign investors and increase financing costs for local companies.
