"Economic data are of limited use because, although both entities issue figures, national-level statistics are not available." - I'm confused. Which two entities issue the figures? FZ 16:25, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)

The term "entity" is used in a specific BiH meaning here: it means Federation and RS. We could link the word to the political divisions page. --Shallot 11:41, 17 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[edit] The part about former Yugoslavia

Of course during the former Yugoslavia economy was communist and was a centrally planned economy from Belgrade, without free market laws. So Bosnia and Herzegovina was mostly a donor republic in former Yugoslavia in money and other ways. The money during former Yugoslavia times went in one direction, out of Bosnia and Herzegovina, to Belgrade or sometimes to Zagreb and Ljubljana.

Can someone give a source or some numbers on this one? Also, what informative purpose do phrases like "money and other ways" serve? What other ways? This is like saying "Germany produces cars and other things". The paragraph seems to present a pretty slanted point of view.

Another thing. Does the part about the Olympic games really belong in the "economy" article? As a single event of extremely doubtful significance to the economy as a whole, it seems somewhat out of place. Perhaps it belongs in the general article about the country, or the one about its history?

I don't want to make any hasty changes, but nothing here is sourced and a lot of it sounds cheesy. Tapir

Ok, after checking out other edits of the user who added that stuff, I am not assuming good faith any more so I'm removing this until somebody complains. Tapir

Bosnia was never donor. Donor Countries in Yugoslavia were Croatia and Slovenia. Recipients were Bosnia, Kosovo, Serbia, Montenegro , Serbia. Slovenia paid 25% of its annual GDP, to those less developed states, Croatia paid 11% of its annual GDP MITJA
