The Council of Ministers of Bosnia and Herzegovina has mandated the Foreign Investment Promotion Agency to facilitate and support foreign direct investment. The Agency offers practical assistance in dealing with government institutions, by working directly with investors and, more structurally, by assisting the government in improving the legal framework for foreign investments. FIPA also assist investors to develop contacts with the public and private sector.

The fact-sheets with investment-related indicators, matchmaking and sector studies, elaborated by FIPA’s experts and independent consultants, ensure that investors are fully aware of the opportunities that BiH presents. Moreover, FIPA works alongside the embassies and diplomatic missions of Bosnia and Herzegovina that can also help you explore investment opportunities in our country.

FIPA provides data, information, analysis and advice on the business and investment environment, including:

• the legal framework for foreign direct investment
• investment incentives
• economic and business trends

FIPA identifies and presents available investment opportunities:

• investment projects in the development-phase or ready for implementation
• companies in the process of privatisation
• local companies seeking foreign partners

FIPA assists both potential investors and those that have already invested in the country through:

• effective networking with both the public and private sector
• linking with governmental and non-governmental institutions to facilitate investment  and business development
• cooperation with local, regional and international organisations to promote and enhance the investment environment
