Comparative Analysis of the Manufacturing Industry of the Bosnia and Herzegovina and selected SEE countries

This analysis examines some features of Bosnia and Herzegovina`s manufacturing industries and compares it with the situation in selected SEE countries in the period from 2007 to 2012. This paper analyses manufacturing industry in general, its primary sector and its level of technological intensity. Since results indicate that the structure of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s manufacturing is falling behind the compared countries’ manufacturing, the general conclusion suggests that Bosnia and Herzegovina’s manufacturing is losing its competitiveness. Lower competitiveness results from an unfavorable technological structure, in so far that the industries characterized by a low level of technological intensity are gaining strength and dominate the manufacturing sector.
