Corruption in Bosnia and Herzegovina 2003 - 2021
The causes of corruption lie in part in political and cultural reasons. Ineffective law enforcement may further promote it. It is striking that it is regularly lower in democratically governed countries (form of government in Bosnia and Herzegovina: Parliamentary republic). Similarly, higher corruption occurs predominantly in low-income countries. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, per capita income is 6,810 USD annually, which is relatively low by global standards. The comparatively low cost of living indicates low prosperity and socioeconomic problems.
