Bosnia and Herzegovina has three governmental statistics offices, each one responsible for a different area of the government.[1] One agency is in charge of whole country statistics (the BHAS), while the other two oversee statistics in BiH's constituent entities, the Republika Srpska and The Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. This system reflects strong decentralization in the region, and several independent reports have stated that this impedes an efficiently functioning government body. To this end, the three agencies still do not fully agree on several various statistical concepts and definitions.[2] All three agencies were established in 2004 with the passage of the Law on Statistics of Bosnia and Herzegovina[3]. Also, the Central Bank, though not a statistics agency on its own, is tasked with calculating yearly balances and preparing other financial statistics.[4][5]
