The Central Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina published estimates, based on available official consumer price index statistics and relevant weights, putting annual core inflation for the first six months of 2025 at 4.24% and annual inflation in the services sector at 4.72%. Inflation pressures increased in June for average consumer prices in services and other categories included in the core inflation calculation, but the change is less visible than in headline inflation because core inflation has a lower sum of weights. The CBBH’s estimate based on official statistics was broadly in line with its June round core inflation nowcast, with the model-based nowcast for the first six months of 2025 coming in 13 basis points below the latest official-statistics-based estimate.
