History
The National Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina (NBBH) was originally established in 1971 as part of the System of National Banks which replaced the National Bank of Yugoslavia (NBJ) as Yugoslavia's collective monetary authority.[3] Upon Bosnian independence in March 1992, the NBBH became the national central bank of the newly independent, but the Bosnian War soon resulted in the creation of a separate National Bank of the Republika Srpska (NBRS) in the Republika Srpska, and of a monetary system under the Ministry of Finance of the Croatian Republic of Herzeg-Bosnia.[4]
Following the Dayton Agreement and end of the Bosnian War, The Central Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina was established in accordance with the Law adopted at the Parliamentary Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina on 1997-6-20, and started operations on 1997-8-11.
