Research and analyses

Timely information can have a significant impact on your business and investment decisions. Precisely for that reason, with the aim of better informing our customers about economic
movements and financial market trends, the team of analysts at Raiffeisen BANK prepares regular market reports that include a comprehensive analysis of key macroeconomic, political, and institutional events, movements in currency values, debt and stock markets of Bosnia and Herzegovina, main financial centres of Europe and the world with forecasts of future movements. This year, the Research and Advisory team of Raiffeisen Bank has once again received an award from the prestigious Focus Economics: 2nd place for the best GDP forecaster for Bosnia and Herzegovina. Given the very strong competition from renowned financial institutions, this is a significant achievement both for the team members and for the entire Bank.

*Focus Economics is a leading provider of economic analyses and forecasts for over 130 countries and surveys over 1200 economic experts each month to obtain its projections of major economic indicators and develop a consensus forecast.
