  1. GENERAL INFORMATION The Central Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina (the "Central Bank") is the supreme monetary authority of Bosnia and Herzegovina ("BH"). Its establishment, organisation and operations have been defined by the Law on the Central Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Official Gazette BH no: 1/97, 29/02, 08/03, 13/03, 14/03, 09/05, 76/06 and 32/07 (the "Law on the Central Bank"), adopted by the Parliamentary Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina, according to the General Framework Peace Agreement in Bosnia and Herzegovina (the Constitution). The Central Bank has been established on 20 June 1997 and started its operations on 11 August 1997. The Central Bank operates through its Head Office, three main units located in Sarajevo, Mostar and Banja Luka, and two branches, one in Brčko and other in Pale, the latter of which operates under the authorisation of the main unit in Banja Luka. Head Office of the Central Bank is located in Sarajevo, Maršala Tita Street, No. 25. The main objective of the Central Bank is to achieve and maintain the stability of the domestic currency (Convertible Mark) by issuing Convertible Mark (KM) in accordance with the currency board rule. The currency board rule, required by the Law on the Central Bank, implies that the KM must be issued only with full coverage in convertible foreign currency reserves. Nevertheless, the Central Bank has an obligation to purchase and sell KM for Euro (EUR) on demand, without any restrictions at the official exchange rate of KM to EUR as KM 195583 = EUR 1, prescribed by the Law on the Central Bank. The guaranteed convertibility of KM and full coverage of monetary liabilities with convertible foreign currency reserves according to the currency board rule are the primary objectives of the Central Bank. All activities and operations of the Central Bank are undertaken in order to achieve the legally mandated goals and objectives with reference to preserve the monetary stability in accordance with the currency board rule and are not, at any moment, aimed at profit maximization. The Central Bank's main tasks, as defined by the Law on the Central Bank, include:
  • determining, adopting and controlling the monetary policy of BH by issuing the domestic currency (Convertible Mark) at the prescribed exchange rate with the full coverage in free convertible foreign currency reserves;
  • holding and managing the official foreign currency reserves of the Central Bank in a safe and profitable manner;
  • establishing and maintaining adequate payment and settlement systems;
  • issuing provisions and guidelines for the performance of the Central Bank's operations, in accordance with the Law on the Central Bank;
  • coordinating the activities of the banking agencies, which are in charge of issuing banking licences and supervising banks;
  • receiving deposits from BH institutions and public agencies, entities' institutions and agencies and deposits from resident banks to fulfil their required reserve obligations;
  • putting and withdrawing from circulation the domestic currency, including legal tender banknotes and coins, adhering strictly to the currency board rule;
  • participating in the operations of international organisations working on strengthening the financial and economic stability through international monetary cooperation;
  • representing BH in all intergovernmental meetings, bodies and organisations regarding monetary policy and other issues within its competence. Within the limits of its authority prescribed by the Law on the Central Bank, the Central Bank is entirely independent from entities, public agencies and any other authority in the pursuit of its objectives and tasks.
  1. GENERAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED) Key management of the Central Bank consists of two bodies: The Governing Board and the Management. According to the Law on the Central Bank, all powers that are not specifically granted to the Governing Board are vested in the Governor. The Governor is the chairman of the Governing Board and the chairman of the Management. The Management of the Central Bank, in addition to the Governor, consists of three vice governors who are appointed by the Governor with the approval of the Governing Board. The Management operationally manages the Central Bank's activities. During 2024 and 2025, including the period up to the date of issuance of these statements, the key management members of the Central Bank are: The Governing Board

The Management

The Audit Committee evaluates the overall adequacy and the effectiveness of the financial reporting process of the Central Bank, reviews financial statements prior to their consideration and approval by the Governing Board as well as oversees the process of the external audit of the annual financial statements and the election process of the Central Bank's independent auditors. The supervisory functions of the Audit Committee also include supervision of the risk management framework and the system of internal controls, supervision of the compliance function and supervision of the internal audit function. During 2024 and 2025, including the period up to the date of issuance of these statements, the Audit Committee members of the Central Bank are: The Audit Committee

  1. BASIS OF PREPARATION 2.1. Statement of compliance The financial statements of the Central Bank have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") published by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). These financial statements have been prepared using the going concern assumption. More information on the environmental conditions under which the Central Bank's operations have been performed in 2025, significantly affecting the Central Bank's reported balances of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, is disclosed in Note 3.13. 2.2. Basis of measurement These financial statements have been prepared under the accrual base of accounting and using the historical cost as a measurement base, except for the following significant items:

2.3. Functional and presentational currency The Central Bank's financial statements are stated in the official monetary unit of BH which is the KM. All financial information has been rounded to the nearest thousand (unless otherwise stated). 2.4. Changes in accounting policies and disclosures 2.4.1. The change in accounting policy The Central Bank has adopted a new accounting policy that provides detailed guidance on the accounting treatment of realised and unrealised components of the financial result in accordance with the Law on the Central Bank. The new accounting policy was adopted with the objective of providing a more relevant and reliable presentation of legally recognised realised and unrealised components of the Central Bank's financial result and enhancing the transparency of financial reporting, while taking into account the principles of financial stability and the preservation of the Central Bank's equity. The change in accounting policy defines the distinction between unrealised and realised foreign exchange differences as follows: Realised foreign exchange differences are foreign exchange differences arising between the exchange rate at which the transaction was performed (buy, sell or spot foreign exchange rate) and the Central Bank's middle exchange rate on the transaction date, including foreign exchange differences arising from the conversion of one foreign currency into another. Unrealised foreign exchange differences are all other foreign exchange differences arising from the translation of monetary positions in foreign currency into KM at the Central Bank's middle exchange rate as at the reporting date. The change in accounting policy has been applied from 1 January 2025. The reclassification of the amounts presented for 2024 in Note 25 was not made, as the change in the accounting policy did not have a significant impact on the amounts of unrealised and realised foreign exchange differences in 2024. The change in accounting policy did not affect the total amount of presented foreign exchange differences in 2025 and 2024, nor the financial result for 2025 and 2024, and the amounts are fully comparable between the reporting years.

14 Item Basis of measurement Fair value Fair value

2.4.2. Allocation of the Central Bank's annual net profit or annual net loss With the change in accounting policy, the legal rules for the allocation of annual net profit or the coverage of annual net loss have been further clarified in accordance with provisions of the Law on the Central Bank. If the Central Bank generates an annual net profit, the following legal rules apply:

  • In the case of a net unrealised gain, the Central Bank determines the amount of profit available for distribution, which represents the difference between the annual net profit and the net unrealised gain. The amount of profit available for distribution is distributed in accordance with the order of priority prescribed by the Law on the Central Bank, while the net unrealised gain is allocated to the legally prescribed reserve for net unrealised profit.
  • In the case of a net unrealised loss, the amount of the annual net profit is also the amount of profit available for distribution, which is distributed in accordance with the order of priority prescribed by the Law on the Central Bank.
    If the Central Bank generates an annual net loss, the following legal rules apply:

  • If the annual net loss includes a net unrealised gain, the entire amount of the annual net loss is allocated against the general reserves up to the amount that would not result in a negative balance of the general reserves as a consequence of such allocation.

  • If the annual net loss includes a net unrealised loss, it is allocated against the legally prescribed reserve for net unrealised gain, if such a reserve exists, up to the amount that would not result in a negative balance of that reserve. The remaining net loss is allocated against the general reserves, up to the amount that would not result in a negative balance of the general reserves as a consequence of such allocation.
    2.4.3. New and amended standards Except from the above mentioned, the adopted accounting policies are consistent with those of the previous financial year except for the following IFRSs and amendments to the IFRSs which have been adopted by the Central Bank as at 1 January 2025:

  • IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Lack of Exchangeability (Amendments)
    The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025. The amendments specify how an entity should assess whether a currency is exchangeable and how it should determine a spot exchange rate when exchangeability is lacking. A currency is considered to be exchangeable into another currency when an entity is able to obtain the other currency within an administrative reasonable time frame through a market or exchange mechanism in which an exchange transaction would create enforceable rights and obligations. If the currency is not exchangeable into another currency, an entity is required to estimate the spot exchange rate at the measurement date. An entity's objective in estimating the spot exchange rate is to reflect the rate at which an orderly exchange transaction would take place at the measurement date between market participants under prevailing economic conditions. The amendments note that an entity can use an available exchange rate without adjustment or another estimation technique. The newly adopted IFRS amendments did not have a material impact on the Central Bank's accounting policies.

2.4.4. Standards issued but not yet effective and not early adopted

  • IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures - Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (Amendments)
    The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026. Early adoption of amendments related to the classification of financial assets and the related disclosures is permitted, with the option to apply the other amendments at a later date. The amendments clarify that a financial liability is derecognised on the 'settlement date', when the obligation is paid, cancelled, expired, or otherwise qualifies for derecognition. They introduce an accounting policy option to derecognise liabilities settled via electronic payment systems before the settlement date, subject to specific conditions. They also provide guidance on assessing the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets with environmental, social and governance (ESG)-linked features or other similar contingent features. Additionally, they clarify the treatment of non-recourse assets and contractually linked instruments and require additional disclosures under IFRS 7 for financial assets and liabilities with contingent event references (including those ESG-linked) and equity instruments classified at fair value through other comprehensive income. The requirements of this standard are not expected to have a significant impact on the Central Bank's financial statements.

  • IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures - Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity (Amendments)
    The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026, with earlier application permitted. The amendments include clarifying the application of the 'own-use' requirements, permitting hedge accounting if contracts in scope of the amendments are used as hedging instruments, and introduce new disclosure requirements to enable investors to understand the impact of these contracts on a financial performances and cash flows. The clarifications regarding the 'own-use' requirements must be applied retrospectively, but the guidance permitting hedge accounting have to be applied prospectively to new hedging relationships designated on or after the date of initial application. The requirements of this standard are not expected to have a significant impact on the Central Bank's financial statements.

  • Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards - Volume 11
    The IASB's annual improvements process deals with non-urgent, but necessary, clarifications and amendments to IFRS. In July 2024, the IASB issued Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards -- Volume 11. Entities shall apply those amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026. The Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards - Volume 11, includes amendments to IFRS 1, IFRS 7, IFRS 9, IFRS 10 and IAS 7. These amendments aim to clarify wording, correct minor unintended consequences, oversights or conflicts between requirements in the standards. The requirements of this standard are not expected to have a significant impact on the Central Bank's financial statements.

  • IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
    IFRS 18 introduces new requirements on presentation within the statement of profit or loss. It requires an entity to classify all income and expenses within its statement of profit or loss into one of the five categories: operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discontinued operations. These categories are complemented by the requirements to present subtotals and totals for 'operating profit or loss', 'profit or loss before financing and income taxes' and 'profit or loss'. It also requires disclosure of management-defined performance measures and includes new requirements for aggregation and disaggregation of financial information based on the identified 'roles' of the primary financial statements and the notes. In addition, there are consequential amendments to other accounting standards. IFRS 18 is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027, with earlier application permitted. Retrospective application is required in both annual and interim financial statements. In the following reporting periods, the Central Bank will analyse the requirements of this newly issued standard and assess its impact. 16

2.4.4. Standards issued but not yet effective and not early adopted (continued)

  • IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures (including amendments)
    IFRS 19 permits subsidiaries without public accountability to use reduced disclosure requirements if their parent company (either ultimate or intermediate) prepares publicly available consolidated financial statements in compliance with IFRS accounting standards. These subsidiaries must still apply the recognition, measurement and presentation requirements in other IFRS. Unless otherwise specified, eligible entities that elect to apply IFRS 19 will not need to apply the disclosure requirements in other IFRS. The amendments issued in August 2025 reduce the disclosure requirements of new IFRS accounting standards, which had been included in full when IFRS 19 was first issued. IFRS 19 (including the amendments) is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027, with earlier application permitted. The requirements of this standard are not expected to have a significant impact on the Central Bank's financial statements.

  • IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Translation to a Hyperinflationary Presentation Currency (Amendments)
    The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027, with earlier adoption permitted. The amendments require translation from a non-hyperinflationary functional currency into a hyperinflationary presentation currency at the closing exchange rate. If an entity's functional currency is the currency of a non-hyperinflationary economy, but its presentation currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy, its results and financial position are translated into the presentation currency by translating all amounts (i.e., assets, liabilities, equity items, income and expenses) and all comparative data at the closing exchange rate at the date of the most recent statement of financial position. An entity whose functional currency and presentation currency are the currency of a hyperinflationary economy, restates the comparative amounts of a foreign operation, whose functional currency is that of a non-hyperinflationary economy, by applying the general price index, to the foreign operation's comparative figures. The amendments also introduce certain additional disclosure requirements. The requirements of this standard are not expected to have a significant impact on the Central Bank's financial statements.

  • Amendment in IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures: Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture
    The amendments address an acknowledged inconsistency between the requirements in IFRS 10 and those in IAS 28, in dealing with the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture. The main consequence of the amendments is that a full loss or gain is recognised when a transaction involves a business (whether it is housed in a subsidiary or not). A partial gain or loss is recognised when a transaction involves assets that do not constitute a business, even if these assets are housed in a subsidiary. In December 2015 the IASB postponed the effective date of this amendment indefinitely pending the outcome of its research project on the equity method of accounting. The requirements of this standard are not expected to have a significant impact on the Central Bank's financial statements.

  1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION Except for the change in accounting policy in Note 2.4.1, significant accounting policies have been applied by the Central Bank consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements. 3.1 Financial assets and financial liabilities 3.1.1. Classification of financial assets and financial liabilities The classification of financial assets and financial liabilities is determined at initial recognition. A Financial assets The Central Bank can classify its financial assets in one of the following three categories at initial recognition:
  • Financial assets subsequently measured at amortised cost,
  • Financial assets subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and
  • Financial assets subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss.
    As at reporting dates, the Central Bank did not have any financial assets classified at fair value through profit or loss. The classification of financial asset is determined by:

  • The Central Bank's business model for managing the financial assets and

  • The contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets.
    Business model The business model reflects how the Central Bank manages financial assets in order to generate cash flows. As at reporting dates, the Central Bank manages its assets through following business models:

  1. "Hold to collect contractual cash flows" model for financial assets that generate contractual cash flows during its lifetime and
  2. "Hold to collect contractual cash flows and sell" model for financial assets that generate contractual cash flows during its lifetime and cash flows arising at the moment of sale. 3.1.1. Classification of financial assets and financial liabilities (continued) Management of contractual cash flows from investments in debt instruments can be carried out through both business models. The Central Bank is obliged to reclassify all financial assets affected by the change in the business model, only if changing its business model for financial assets management. For financial assets that are managed through these models, the Central Bank assesses whether the contractual cash flows associated with the financial assets are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. The assessment is made at a portfolio level because of its best reflection of the way the business is managed. For the purpose of assessment, "principal" is defined as fair value of the financial asset at initial recognition. "Interest" is defined as a consideration for the time value of money and for the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding during a particular period of time, and for other risks and costs related to the holding the financial asset. In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are "solely payment of principal and interest", the Central Bank considers the contractual cash flows of the instrument. Only financial assets that satisfy "solely payment of principal and interest" requirement can be classified into category of financial assets measured at amortised cost or financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if the assets meet the following conditions:
  • they are held within the business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets and collect its contractual cash flows and
  • by the contractual terms of the financial assets, cash flows arise on specified dates and are solely payments of principal and interest of the principal amount outstanding.
    Financial assets are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if the assets meet the following conditions:

  • they are held within the business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial asset and

  • by the contractual terms of the financial assets, cash flows arise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest of the principal amount outstanding.
    B Financial liabilities The Central Bank classifies its financial liabilities as subsequently measured at amortised cost, with the exception of banknotes and coins in circulation which are measured at their nominal value (Note 3.6). Financial liabilities are not reclassified. As at reporting dates, the Central Bank did not have financial liabilities classified under the category of subsequent measurement at fair value through profit and loss.

3.1.2. Initial recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the statement of financial position only when the Central Bank becomes one of the counterparties to which the contractual terms of the financial instrument are applied. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities, except those classified at fair value through profit and loss, are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, at initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised directly in profit or loss. All financial assets are initially recognised at the settlement date, which is the date that an asset is obtained from, or delivered to, the Central Bank. 3.1.3. Subsequent measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities Subsequent measurement is determined by the selected classification of financial assets and financial liabilities. The amortised cost of financial assets or financial liability is the amount at which financial assets or financial liability is measured on initial recognition decreased by the principal repayments, increased or decreased by the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest rate method on all differences between the initial amount and amount to maturity and, for financial assets, adjusted for any expected credit losses. The gross carrying amount of financial assets is the amortised cost of financial assets before adjustment for impairment for expected credit losses. The effective interest rate method is the method used in the calculation of the amortised cost (gross carrying amount) of financial assets or financial liability and for allocation and recognition of interest income or expense in profit or loss over a specified period. A Financial assets Financial assets at amortised cost After initial recognition, financial assets are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method on the gross carrying amount of the assets. Effects of subsequent measurement of financial assets at amortised cost are recognised in profit or loss as interest income or interest expense arising from the effects of negative interest rates in the period they occurred. As at reporting dates, cash in foreign currencies, deposits with foreign banks, Special Drawing Rights with the IMF, debt instruments at amortised cost and other financial assets fall into category of financial assets at amortised cost. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income After initial recognition, financial assets are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income using the effective interest rate method on the gross carrying amount of the assets and are adjusted to the fair value of the financial assets at each reporting date. During the holding period, effects of subsequent measurement of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognised as follows:

  • Interest income or interest expense arising from the effects of negative interest rates are recognised in profit or loss in the period they occurred.
  • Fair value adjustments are recognised in other comprehensive income in the period they occurred.
    3.1.3. Subsequent measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities (continued) When debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income are derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss, including previously recognised impairment gains or losses. As at reporting dates, the Central Bank's debt instruments fall into the category of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. Equity instruments The Central Bank has made an irrevocable election to present in other comprehensive income subsequent changes in the fair value of equity instruments that are not held for trading due to their specific characteristics and absence of an active market for their trading. Other investments represent equity instruments which are initially recognised at cost that is considered to be their fair value due to inability to reliably determine their fair value. As at reporting dates, the Central Bank's equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income are composed of The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) and SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication) shares (Note 16). Impairment of financial assets Impairment requirements of financial assets use more forward-looking information to recognise expected credit losses. Instruments within the scope of these requirements include financial assets measured at amortised cost i.e., deposits with foreign banks, debt instruments at amortised cost and Special Drawing Rights with the IMF as well as debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. The Central Bank uses a simplified approach in calculation of expected credit losses for other receivables. Equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are not subject of impairment. The Central Bank recognises an impairment for these losses at each reporting date. The measurement of expected credit losses reflects:

  • An unbiased and probability-weighted amount that is determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes,

  • The time value of money and

  • Reasonable and useful information that is available without additional cost or effort at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.
    Note 6.1. provides more information about how the expected credit losses are measured. Impairment for expected credit losses is calculated and presented in the statement of financial position as follows: Financial assets measured at amortised cost: Expected credit losses are calculated on the gross carrying amount of the assets and recorded as a deduction from the gross carrying amount of the assets. Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income: Expected credit losses are calculated on the gross carrying amount of the assets, but impairment is recognised in other comprehensive income as provisions for expected credit losses that do not reduce the carrying amount of the financial assets in the statement of financial position. Impairment of financial assets is recognised in profit or loss regardless of classification of financial assets subjected at each reporting date. 21

3.1.3. Subsequent measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities (continued) B Financial liabilities Interest income or interest expense arising from financial liabilities measured at amortised cost are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest rate method. Fee and commission income arising from financial liabilities is recognised when service is provided. Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost include banknotes and coins in circulation, deposits from banks, deposits from the Government and other public institutions and other financial liabilities. 3.1.4. Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities The Central Bank derecognises financial assets only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the assets expire or it transfers the financial assets and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the assets to another entity. A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged or expired. 3.2. Offsetting Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement of financial position on a net basis, only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and when there is an intention to present or settle the transactions on the net basis. Income and expenses are presented on a net basis only when permitted under certain IFRS, or for gains and losses arising from a group of similar transactions. 3.3. Cash and cash equivalents For the purpose of reporting on cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise the following categories: giro accounts, cash in foreign currencies, demand deposits in foreign currency, deposits in foreign currency with maturity up to three months or less from the date of acquisition and Special Drawing Rights with the IMF. 3.4. Monetary gold Monetary gold, being the part of foreign currency reserves of the Central Bank, is classified as financial assets. Monetary gold is initially recognised at fair value, including transaction cost directly attributable to the acquisition of monetary gold. After initial recognition, monetary gold is subsequently measured at fair value. Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair value, referring to the price changes of monetary gold, are recognised in the fair value reserve account within other comprehensive income. Prior to the annual profit allocation, if unrealised losses exceed the balance of the fair value reserves for monetary gold, the Central Bank recognises the amount of negative balance in the profit or loss account which is then included in the profit available for distribution if the legally prescribed conditions for profit distributions are met. On the sale of gold, unrealised gains and losses from other comprehensive income are transferred to profit or loss. The fair value of monetary gold is expressed in EUR currency, converted at the fixed exchange rate of KM at the reporting date and is measured at the last quoted bid price for one ounce of gold as at reporting date.

3.5. Property, equipment and intangible assets Property, equipment and intangible assets consist of assets obtained from the Central Bank's own funds and cash and non-cash grants. Property, equipment and intangible assets are stated at historical cost, less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes the purchase price and all costs directly related to bringing the asset into operating condition for its intended use. Maintenance and repairs, replacements and improvements of minor importance are recognised as expenses when incurred. Significant improvements and replacements of assets are capitalized. Assets under construction are reported at their cost of construction including costs charged by third parties. Upon completion, all accumulated costs of the asset are transferred to the appropriate property, equipment and intangible assets category to which corresponding depreciation and amortisation rates are subsequently applied. Depreciation and amortisation of property, equipment and intangible assets are calculated on all assets, except land and assets in the course of construction, on a straight-line basis at prescribed rate designed to write off the cost of the assets over their estimated useful lives. The Central Bank has revised the depreciation rates for property and equipment in accordance with the new estimates of the assets' economic useful life and their expected usage in the following years. This change impacts the depreciation amounts in the current reporting period and it will impact the depreciation amounts in the subsequent reporting periods. The estimated depreciation and amortisation rates during 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

Gains and losses on disposal of property and equipment and intangible assets are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment of non-financial assets The useful life of the property, equipment and intangible assets is reviewed and adjusted on an annual basis at minimum, if necessary, and is applied prospectively. The carrying amounts of the Central Bank's non-financial assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the asset's recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. The recoverable amount of other assets is the greater value at comparing its value in use in relation to fair value less cost to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of amortisation, as if no impairment loss had been recognised. 23 10.0% to 12.5% Furniture 10.0% to 12.5% Until 31 December 2024 From 1 January 2025 Equipment Other intangible assets 11.0% to 33.33% 11.0% to 20.0% 20.0% 20.0% Buildings Vehicles Software 3.33% to 4.0% 1.3% to 4.0% 15.5% 15.5% 20.0% 20.0%

3.6. Banknotes and coins in circulation The Central Bank is the only institution in BH authorised for issuing and withdrawing KM banknotes and coins, acting strictly under the currency board rule. In accordance with the Law on the Central Bank, aggregate amounts of banknotes and coins in circulation is recorded as the Central Bank's financial liability in the statement of financial position. Banknotes and coins in circulation include only KM banknotes and coins outside of Central Bank's vaults. When banknotes and coins are withdrawn from circulation, they are recognised as a liability as part of banknotes and coins in circulation, until the formal date of withdrawal. Any outstanding amount not withdrawn, after the formal due date, is recognised as income. 3.7. Deposits of banks and depositors These deposits include received deposits from resident banks and deposits from the Government and other public institutions and represent the Central Bank's financial liabilities that are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost. Deposits from banks include resident banks' deposits arising from required reserve policy of the Central Bank and other resident banks' deposits. Deposits from the Government and other public institutions represent received deposits from BH institutions and other public BH agencies, and entities' institutions and agencies. The Central Bank's role as a depository, banker, adviser and fiscal agent is prescribed by the Law on the Central Bank. 3.8. Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Central Bank has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events for which it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. Provisions are maintained at the level that the Central Bank's Management considers sufficient for absorption of incurred losses. The Management determines the sufficiency of provisions on the basis of insight into specific items, current economic circumstances, risk characteristics of certain transaction categories, as well as other relevant factors. Provisions may include the amounts subject to the requirements of IAS 19: Employee Benefits and the requirements of IAS 37: Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. Provisions are released only for such expenditure for which provisions are recognised at inception. If the outflow of economic benefits to settle the obligations is no longer probable, the provision is reversed. 3.9. Income and expense recognition Interest income and expenses Interest income and expenses are recorded in profit or loss using the effective interest rate method. The "effective interest rate" is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument to:

  • The gross carrying amount of the financial assets or
  • The amortised cost of the financial liability. When calculating the effective interest rate for financial instruments, the Central Bank estimates future cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument, but excluding the expected credit losses. The calculation includes all fees and amounts paid or received between the Central Bank and other counterparty that are an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs, and all other discounts and premiums. 24

3.9. Income and expense recognition (continued) Accrued interest on financial assets with positive interest rate, i.e., yield is recognised in profit or loss as interest income. Accrued interest on financial assets with negative interest rate, i.e., yield is recognised in profit or loss as the effects of negative interest rates within the interest expense. As at reporting dates, interest income includes interest income from deposits with foreign banks, debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income, debt instruments at amortised cost and Special Drawing Rights with the IMF. Accrued interest on financial liabilities at amortised cost is recognised in profit or loss as interest expense, i.e., as the effects of negative deposit interest rates on financial liabilities within the interest income. As at reporting dates, the accrued interests on financial liabilities include interest expenses on deposits from resident banks based on the required reserve policy. Fee and commission income and expenses Fee and commission income is earned from the services provided by the Central Bank and is recognised in profit or loss when the service is provided. The Central Bank calculates fee and commission income under determined tariffs for its services. Services provided by the Central Bank include services to resident banks, depositors and other non-banking clients. They arise from payment system transactions, cash processing, conversion transactions and other services. Fee and commission expense arises from received services related from Central Bank's foreign currency reserve management and is recognised in profit or loss when the service is received. Foreign currency transactions and foreign exchange differences At initial recognition, foreign currency transactions are recorded into KM, by applying to the foreign currency amount the spot exchange rate between the KM and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction. Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated to KM by applying exchange rate from the Central Bank's exchange rate list at the reporting date. Non-monetary items measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated by applying the exchange rate at the date of transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was measured. Foreign exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at rates different from those at which they were translated at initial recognition during the current period or in previous reporting periods are recognised in profit or loss when they arise. Due to the currency board rule, there are no foreign exchange differences on monetary items denominated in EUR currency.

3.9. Income and expense recognition (continued) Middle exchange rates of most relevant currencies are provided below:

Dividend income Dividend income from equity instruments is recognised in profit or loss when the Central Bank's right to receive dividend is established. Dividend income arises from BIS shares held by the Central Bank (Notes 16 and 27). Employee benefits Short-term employee benefits In accordance with local regulations, on behalf of its employees, the Central Bank pays personal income tax and contributions for pension, disability, health and unemployment insurance, on and from salaries, which are calculated as per the set legal rates during the course of the year on the gross salary. The Central Bank pays those taxes and contributions in the favour of the institutions of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (on federal and cantonal levels), Republic of Srpska and Brčko District. In addition, meal allowances, transport allowances and vacation bonuses are paid in accordance with the domestic legislation requirements. These expenses are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the expense is incurred. Long-term employee benefits According to local legal requirements, upon retirement employees of the Central Bank are entitled to receive severance pay, when provided legal conditions are met, such as the age or years of service, which in accordance with the Central Bank's internal acts is granted in an amount equal to six regular monthly salaries paid to the respective employee in the last six months. Such payments are treated as long-term employee benefits. The Central Bank engages the certified actuary for preparing an actuarial calculation using the projected unit credit method. Costs related to the production and design of banknotes and coins are initially recognised as deferred costs which are part of Central Bank's other assets and are subsequently amortised by their expense recognition through profit or loss over the period of five years. Taxes The Central Bank is obliged to pay Value Added Tax for all goods and services purchased. These payables are part of the Central Bank's administrative and other operating expenses. According to the Law on the Central Bank, the Central Bank is excluded from income tax payables. 3.10. Fund management for and on behalf of third parties The Central Bank also maintains certain accounts in foreign currencies related to agreements concluded between the governments in BH and its entities and foreign governments and financial organisations, as well as foreign currency accounts of the BH institutions and agencies, and resident banks, for which the Central Bank acts as an agent (Note 35). 26 Middle exchange rate: EUR CHF GBP USD XDR 2.104627 2.072952 2.244984 2.357842 1.663545 1.872683 2.275491 2.454215 1.95583 1.95583 KM KM

3.11. Financial arrangements of Bosnia and Herzegovina with the International Monetary Fund According to the financial arrangements concluded between BH, the Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund ("IMF"), the statement of financial position of the Central Bank includes the following items related to BH's membership with the IMF: Special Drawing Rights holdings with the IMF which are part of foreign currency reserves of the Central Bank and are interest-bearing and the IMF No. 1 account and IMF No. 2 account that are part of Central Bank's financial liabilities. These accounts are also included in currency board compliance (Note 4). Other assets and liabilities related to the IMF, belonging to or being the responsibility of BH, are recorded in a separate Trust Fund within off-balance-sheet records. Central Bank has an obligation to keep proper records arising from transactions between BH and the IMF, but strictly adhering to the Law on the Central Bank and local legislation in BH that regulates foreign borrowing of BH (Note 36). 3.12. Significant accounting judgements and estimates In preparing the Central Bank's financial statements in accordance with IFRS, the Management applies judgments and makes estimates that are evaluated continuously. In evaluation of significant judgments and estimates, the Management considers assumptions based on historical experience and expectations about future that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Significant judgements and estimates effect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as disclosure of the amounts of contingent assets and liabilities as at reporting date, and the corresponding amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates. Changes in Central Bank's accounting policies are applied retrospectively when applicable in accordance with IFRS. Changes in accounting estimates are recognised prospectively in the period in which the estimate is changed if the change affects only that period or in the period of change and future periods if the change affects both current and future periods. These financial statements have been prepared based upon conditions existing at 31 December 2025. Future conditions may be different from those that resulted in the financial information disclosed in these financial statements. The Management continuously monitors the increased factors of uncertainty that may significantly impact the financial performances of the Central Bank in the upcoming period. Key assumptions and estimates relating to significant items of the statement of financial position are presented below: Business model Note 3.1.1.: Determination of the business model within the financial assets are held and assessment of contractual terms of financial assets regarding the "Solely payment of principal and interest" requirement. These assessments determine the classification of financial assets. Impairment of financial assets The Central Bank calculates the expected credit losses for certain classes of financial assets measured at amortised cost and debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Note 6.1. describes assumptions and updates used in the determination of the inputs into the expected credit loss measurement model, including the forward-looking view information in the reporting periods.

3.12. Significant accounting judgements and estimates (continued) Fair value of assets and liabilities The Central Bank's business policy is to disclose fair value information on those financial assets or liabilities for which public market information is readily available or such value may be calculated by applying some alternative valuation techniques, and whose fair value is materially different from their recorded amounts. According to the Central Bank's Management, amounts presented in the financial statements reflect the most reliable and useful estimate of fair value for financial reporting purposes, in accordance with IFRSs. For more information about fair value measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities see Note 5. Depreciation and amortisation charge and rates applied The calculation of depreciation and amortisation, as well as depreciation and amortisation rates are based on the assessed economic useful life of property, equipment and intangible assets. Once a year, the Central Bank assesses economic useful life based on current assumptions. The impact of climate change and sustainable development on the Central Bank's financial reporting Considering the requirements of IFRS S1: General Requirements for Disclosures of Sustainability-related Financial Information and IFRS S2: Climate-related Disclosures, the Central Bank has recognised the risks associated with sustainable development and climate change as a potential source of uncertainty in the future period. The Central Bank is a member of the Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS) and the Sustainable Banking and Finance Network (SBFN) which are two internationally recognised networks. During 2025, the Central Bank continued with activities aimed at creating conditions for integrating environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into the business processes. The Central Bank's main activities were focused on further strengthening institutional capacities, establishing methodological frameworks for monitoring climate-related risks, as well as promoting sustainable financing, in line with the Central Bank's strategic commitment. As at reporting dates, the Central Bank considers that these sources of uncertainty do not have a material impact on the Central Bank's financial position and performance. 3.13. Conditions in the environment for performing the Central Bank's operations in 2025 During 2025, the global economy, including the eurozone economy, recorded stable but moderate growth. Key uncertainty factors were caused by changes in the trade policy of the United States, particularly the increase in import tariffs from other countries, including the European Union countries, leading to heightened tensions and volatility in international markets. Additional geopolitical tensions, particularly in the Middle East region, have increased the overall level of macroeconomic instability. In 2025, the Governing Council of the European Central Bank ("ECB") lowered its key interest rates on four occasions, by a total of 100 basis points. These decisions of the ECB Governing Council directly affected the conditions in the eurozone financial market, where the Central Bank primarily invests its foreign currency reserves, particularly through movements in market interest rates and yields.

3.13. Conditions in the environment for performing the Central Bank's operations in 2025 (continued) During 2025, the Central Bank invested and reinvested foreign currency reserves to a greater extent in the portfolio of debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income, as well as in deposits with foreign banks. In addition, market prices of monetary gold showed a generally pronounced upward trend leading to a significant increase in its fair value as at reporting date. The Central Bank continuously adjusted its investment and reinvestment activities in foreign currency reserves to changes in market conditions, which was reflected in the Central Bank's key financial indicators and further contributed to the stabilisation of the currency board arrangement. The Central Bank's key financial indicators and results as at and for the year ended 31 December 2025 are as follows: The Central Bank's net foreign assets amount to KM 1,657,316 thousand as at 31 December 2025, The Central Bank's net profit amounts to KM 307,367 thousand for 2025, The amount of annual net profit to be transferred to the BH budget equals KM 184,420 thousand and represents the Central Bank's liability as at 31 December 2025, and The Central Bank's equity, after the allocation of the annual net profit, amounts to KM 1,545,964 thousand as at 31 December 2025. In 2025, the net profit was generated primarily from interest income arising from the interest-bearing components of the Central Bank's foreign currency reserves, with the largest share attributable to interest income from the portfolio of debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income and deposits with foreign banks. The resulting structure of foreign currency interest income reflects the investment strategy particularly focused on preserving the safety and liquidity, and achieving targeted returns on the Central Bank's foreign currency reserves, in line with the prevailing conditions in the eurozone financial market. As at 31 December 2025 the amount of total equity and reserves of the Central Bank were primarily increased by the net financial effects of changes in the market values of the components of foreign currency reserves that are subsequently measured at fair value, as well as by an increase in general reserves (retained earnings) resulting from net profit allocation for 2025. The net effect of changes in the fair value of monetary gold and debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income, presented through other comprehensive income, amount to KM 224,834 thousand for 2025. The portion of the annual net profit for 2025 allocated to the general reserves (retained earnings) of the Central Bank amounts to KM 122,947 thousand. In 2025, the Central Bank continued its cooperation with the World Bank, within the Reserve Advisory & Management Partnership (RAMP), which commenced on 1 October 2024. Under this arrangement, a portion of the Central Bank's foreign currency reserves was entrusted to an external portfolio manager for management, with the majority of these funds being invested in debt instruments denominated in EUR and USD currency. More information on changes and analytical balances of significant foreign currency reserve components, as well as the corresponding amounts that have affected net foreign assets, annual net profit and equity of the Central Bank are disclosed in the following notes:

3.13. Conditions in the environment for performing the Central Bank's operations in 2025 (continued) The cumulative net increase in monetary liabilities in 2025 was primarily driven by net financial effects arising from KM purchase and sale transactions with resident banks and on behalf of the Central Bank's depositors, as well as by the transfer of a portion of net profit for 2024, while a net cash outflow was recorded from the resident banks' euro-denominated reserve accounts. In addition, resident banks have been withdrawing and returning KM banknotes and coins through the Central Bank's dislocated vaults with a non-cyclical intensity, which resulted in a cumulative net increase in KM banknotes and coins in circulation compared to 31 December 2024, with simultaneous net decrease in resident bank's reserve accounts on this basis. All resident banks have regularly fulfilled the required reserve in accordance with the Central Bank's legal regulations. The Central Bank did not change remuneration rates during 2025 and 2024. More information on changes and analytical balances of monetary liabilities components and applied Central Bank's required reserve policy are disclosed in the following notes:

During the current reporting period, enforcement proceedings were initiated against the Central Bank's assets based on the decision of the Arbitration Council in Washington, which obliged BH to pay damage compensation to the company Viaduct d.o.o. Portorož, including related interest and legal fees. Accordingly, non-final enforcement decisions were also issued against the Central Bank's properties in Mostar and Banja Luka, against which the Central Bank, through the Office of Attorney General of BH, filed appeals to the competent authorities, considering that there are no legal grounds for enforcement against its property. By adopting the Decision enacting the Law on Amendments to the Law on Financing of the Institutions of Bosnia and Herzegovina aimed at providing a legal and financial framework for the enforcement of international arbitration decisions against BH, the issue of settling obligations arising from the arbitration case Viaduct d.o.o. Portorož was resolved. This enabled the competent authorities to take measures to suspend enforcement proceedings against BH and its institutions, including the suspension of enforcement proceedings against the Central Bank. In accordance with the aforementioned Law, and at the request of the Ministry of Finance and Treasury of BH, the Central Bank opened an account and transferred funds for the purpose of settling the debt to the company Viaduct d.o.o. Portorož, in accordance with the instructions of the Ministry of Finance and Treasury of BH. In 2025, all enforcement proceedings against the Central Bank's assets in this matter were suspended.

30 Note Title 4. CURRENCY BOARD ARRANGEMENT The currency board is an arrangement with a fixed foreign currency exchange rate which is tied to a stable foreign currency, known as the reserve currency, where the total amount of domestic currency can be freely converted to reserve currency at any time. Each issued KM has full coverage in foreign currency to which it is tied at the fixed EUR foreign currency exchange rate. The Law on the Central Bank defines the rule "currency board" for issuing currency, under which the Central Bank is obliged to ensure that total amount of its monetary liabilities never exceed the equivalent amount (expressed in KM) of its net foreign currency reserves. Details of compliance with that rule are as follows:

Disclosed amounts of all components of the currency board represent their carrying amounts as at reporting dates. Net foreign assets are the Central Bank's main financial indicator of achieving and maintaining the stability of domestic currency in BH and its main financial performance measure. It represents the part of official foreign currency reserves which can be used only for purposes and needs determined by the Law on the Central Bank. Net foreign assets are the amounts that guarantee the stability of domestic currency, respectively monetary stability and absorb potential financial risks arising from official foreign currency reserves management. As at 31 December 2025, the financial balance of net foreign assets amounts to KM 1,657,316 thousand and the stability of domestic currency is completely provided (31 December 2024: KM 1,363,695 thousand).

  1. CURRENCY BOARD ARRANGEMENT (CONTINUED) More information on financial risks to which the Central Bank has been exposed in foreign currency reserves management is disclosed in Note 6. As at reporting dates, the Central Bank's adequate capitalisation level has ensured implementation of its functions prescribed by the Law on Central Bank. For more information see Note 32. FINANCIAL LIABILITIES Fair value is the price that would be received by selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or liability, the Central Bank considers the characteristics of the asset or liability which market participants would consider when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The estimated fair values of the Central Bank's financial assets and financial liabilities have been determined using available market information, where it exists, and appropriate valuation methodologies. In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
  • Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Central Bank can access at the measurement date;
  • Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
  • Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. 5.1. Financial assets measured at fair value The following table analyses financial assets measured at fair value at each reporting date, by the level in the fair value hierarchy into which the fair value measurement is categorised. These amounts represent values that are presented in the statement of financial position.

Financial assets are measured at fair value in the statement of financial position using the last quoted bid prices in an active market, taken from official services, which correspond to Level 1 hierarchy as at reporting dates. Market prices from the official service Bloomberg are used for fair value measurement of debt instruments, while the price per ounce of gold obtained from the official service Reuters is used for fair value measurement of monetary gold.

5.2. Financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value (continued)

For financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value, fair value of these components is considered for the purpose of disclosing information on their estimated fair value. The Management considers that carrying amounts of financial assets at amortised cost, other investments and financial liabilities at amortised cost, except for debt instruments at amortised cost, represent reasonable estimation of their fair value as at reporting dates. The above-mentioned estimate is made considering the specific position of the Central Bank as the supreme monetary authority operating under currency board arrangement, as well as dominant short-term nature of these components. For more information see Notes 6.3. and 8. As at reporting dates, financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value are included in Level 2 of fair value measurement, except for debt instruments at amortised cost which are included in Level 1 because their fair value is determined with the same measurement technique used for debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

  1. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT Financial assets which represent the Central Bank's exposure to financial risks (credit risk, market risks and liquidity risk) are:
  • Cash in foreign currencies,
  • Deposits with foreign banks (central banks, commercial banks and BIS),
  • Special Drawing Rights with the IMF,
  • Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income,
  • Monetary gold,
  • Debt instruments at amortised cost,
  • Other financial assets (resident banks' receivables, employees' loans and other receivables) and
  • Other investments. The management of foreign currency reserves and the management of financial risks in the process of managing foreign currency reserves are significantly influenced by movements in financial markets, primarily movements in the eurozone financial market, which are affected by a large number of different factors, with the most important being the measures taken by the ECB and other leading central banks at the global level. All three key ECB interest rates were reduced in February, March, April and June 2025, each time by 25 basis points. By the end of 2025, deposit facility rate which primarily determines conditions in the euro area financial market, was reduced by a total of 100 basis points, to 2.00% from 3.00% at the beginning of the year. The primary determinant of the ECB's monetary policy remains the eurozone inflation level, with an aim of achieving medium-term inflation target of 2.00%. The ECB Governing Council emphasizes that, when determining monetary policy, it does not decide on certain changes in interest rates dynamics in advance, but it applies an approach based on the most recent available data. The ECB Governing Council decisions on interest rates, as they stated, will depend on the assessment of future inflation movements based on the most recent macroeconomic and financial data, as well as the dynamics of core inflation and strength of monetary policy transmission. The reduction in key interest rates in the eurozone in the first half of 2025, as in previous years, has reflected on the decrease of market interest rates (Euribor) and market yields on euro-denominated bonds in that period. After the ECB stopped reducing the key interest rates in June 2025 and maintained them at the same level until the end of 2025, market interest rates and market yields generally stagnated, with a tendency toward a slight increase of yields, which is more pronounced for long-term bonds. The increase in yields of long-term bonds, combined with yield stagnation of short-term bonds, led the government bonds yield curve in the eurozone financial market to gradually return to a normal shape, following many years of more or less pronounced inversion. Unlike in previous years, the expectations regarding the future monetary policy of the US Federal Reserve System (Fed) had a smaller impact on movements in yields and interest rates in the eurozone. In the first half of 2025, interest rates and market yields in the eurozone declined although the Fed did not change its referent interest rate. In the second half of 2025, interest rates and market yields in the eurozone stagnated or increased slightly for the long-term bonds, despite the fact that the Fed decreased its targeted range for reference interest rate in September, October and December 2025, each time by 25 basis points, i.e., by a total of 75 basis points, from the targeted range of 4.25 - 4.50%, which had been in effect from 18 December 2024 till 16 September 2025, to the targeted range of 3.50 - 3.75%, which has been in effect from 10 December 2025.

6.1. Credit risk Credit risk is the risk of default on the contractual obligations of other counterparty or the issuer of fixed income debt securities, where the counterparty is an entity in which, in accordance with the Central Bank's regulations, foreign currency reserves are held or invested. The management of credit risk is performed through:

  • limiting the scope of financial instruments,
  • limiting counterparties and issuers to those with acceptable composite credit rating,
  • defining concentration limits for investments with an individual counterparty,
  • limiting the maximum amount to be invested into individual types of financial instruments,
  • limiting the size of the issue of individual securities and
  • limiting maturities.
    For the funds recorded in off-balance sheet records, the Central Bank is not exposed to credit risk, since all the risk, which may result from the investments of these funds, are borne contractually by the owners of these funds (see Notes 35 and 36). Expected credit loss measurement Financial assets for which the Central Bank calculates the expected credit losses includes:

  • Deposits with foreign banks,

  • Special Drawing Rights with IMF,

  • Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income,

  • Debt instruments at amortised cost and

  • Other financial assets (resident banks' receivables, employees' loans and other receivables).
    The basic criteria for defining the limit of exposure to credit risk is the composite credit rating. Composite credit rating is the average of current ratings assigned to a certain entity by at least two out of three credit rating agencies (Standard and Poor's, Fitch ratings or Moody's). Financial assets which have the composite credit rating AA minus (AA-) or higher, the Central Bank treats as low credit risk exposure. Financial assets which have the composite credit rating from BBB minus (BBB-) to A plus (A+), the Central Bank treats as medium credit risk exposure. Financial assets which have the composite credit rating below BBB minus (BBB-), the Central Bank treats as high credit risk exposure. In the absence of credit rating, the Central Bank estimates the borrower's capacity to properly repay his contractual cash obligations. Model for impairment of financial assets defines three stages of allocation of exposure based on the credit risk level at initial recognition and changes in the credit risk level after initial recognition as summarized below: 37

  1. Stage 1 of exposure distribution - Financial assets which are treated by the Central Bank as the low or medium credit risk exposure are allocated to Stage 1 at initial recognition. In accordance with internal Central Bank's regulations, investments of foreign currency reserves are not allowed to the high credit risk exposure. Each investment of foreign currency reserves at initial recognition is allocated to Stage 1 of exposure distribution.
  2. Stage 2 of exposure distribution - If a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition is identified, financial assets which were allocated to Stage 1 will be transferred to Stage 2.
  3. Stage 3 of exposure distribution - The criteria for movement into Stage 3 is assigning the default status to financial assets. The calculation of expected credit losses is measured on a 12-month basis or a lifetime basis, depending on financial asset's composite credit rating level, if the significant increase in credit risk has occurred from the moment of financial assets' initial recognition and depending on if the financial asset is credit-impaired. For financial assets allocated in Stage 1, the expected credit losses are measured on a 12-month basis, while for financial assets allocated in Stage 2 or Stage 3 the expected credit losses are measured on a lifetime basis. Significant increase in credit risk Significant increase in credit risk, as criteria for transfer of exposure into Stage 2, represents:
  • The decrease in composite credit rating for more than two notches in relation to initial recognition date, excluding the financial assets which even after the decrease in composite credit rating is treated as the low credit risk exposure at reporting date or
  • The decrease in composite credit rating of financial assets below investment level of composite credit rating, i.e., below the BBB minus (BBB-) rating. Financial assets cannot be allocated from Stage 1 to Stage 2 if the Central Bank considers that the debtor, which does not have credit rating assigned, has high capacity to settle all matured contractual obligations. Financial assets cannot be allocated to Stage 2 if, even after the decrease in the level of composite credit rating, the financial assets have rating AA minus (AA-) or higher, considering that it is treated as low credit risk exposure. If financial instrument is consisted of multiple tranches that were initially recognised in different periods, and which in different periods had different composite credit ratings, by using the conservative approach, the Central Bank will take as relevant the calculated increase in credit risk from the highest notch. If the change in credit risk rating occurred due to the change in certain credit rating agency methodology and the significant increase in credit risk did not occur related to initially estimated risks, the exposures will not be classified into Stage 2. The Central Bank, based on its analysis, can determine the allocation of every individual financial asset into Stage 2 or Stage 3. If the causes that led to the transfer of financial asset in Stage 2 have been removed, the exposure can be reverted to Stage 1, but at least 90 days after removal of the cause. In addition to the criteria mentioned above, stage classification can be performed based on assumption that the significant increase in credit risk has occurred if the payment is delayed for 30 days or more, where the financial assets will be classified to Stage 2 (underperforming) if the payment is delayed for 30 to 89 days. Financial assets will be classified to the Stage 3 (nonperforming) if payment is delayed for 90 days or more. 38

Definition of default Default criteria are objective evidences of impairment, especially:

  • Significant financial difficulties of securities' issuers,
  • Breach of contractual obligations in terms of delinquency on principal and interest,
  • Any restructuring or modification of the existing terms of servicing obligations arising from financial instrument debt for reasons related to financial difficulties of the issuer,
  • Probability of bankruptcy and/or liquidation or other form of financial reorganization and/or
  • Disappearance of an active trading market.
    Expected credit loss calculation Expected credit losses are calculated as the product of three variables: The Probability of Default (PD), Loss Given Default (LGD) and Exposure at Default (EAD), defined as follows:

  • Probability of Default (PD) is an estimate of the probability that another counterparty will not be able to meet its debt obligations. In the reporting periods, the same PD calculation method was used, in accordance with the Central Bank's methodology for expected credit losses calculation which was introduced on 1 January 2019. During 2024, the parameters for calculating the probability of default for exposures to foreign banks and exposures to foreign debt instruments were updated, in light of the perceived increase in credit risk due to the intensification of geopolitical tensions and their impact on the global economy. For the impairment calculation, in accordance with best practices in other central banks in region and European Union, which are obliged to comply with IFRS, the Central Bank, as a parameter of the probability of default, uses the estimates based on data from transition matrices which are published by credit rating agencies and expert judgement in the form of fixed percentages of probability of default.
    For probability of default calculation, the estimates are based on transition matrices for corporations on a global level which contain data on one-year transition average rate of long-term credit rating level in status "D" i.e., default or status "SD", i.e., selective default. Based on data mentioned above, the probability of default estimates is calculated for exposures to foreign commercial banks and foreign countries, respectively foreign central banks and governments, for which it is possible to calculate composite credit rating. For probability of default estimates of exposures to foreign countries, respectively foreign central banks and governments, the first non-zero data on one-year transition rate of sovereign ratings is taken into consideration in status "D" i.e., default or status "SD" i.e., selective default from transition matrices for sovereign rating. For exposures for which the composite credit rating cannot be calculated, in both reporting periods, expert judgements in terms of fixed percentages are used, respectively the simplified approach in accordance with the current situation analysis and former experience.

  • Loss Given Default (LGD) is an estimate of the percentage of exposure to the issuer which cannot be collected if a default event occurs. For loss given default, the Central Bank uses constant value of one-year LGD, 45 per cent (45%), in accordance with the article 161. of the Regulation No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 (Capital Requirements Regulations i.e., CRR).

  • Exposure at Default (EAD) represents the carrying amount of the financial assets, i.e., the carrying amount at the initial recognition date/at the reporting date.
    Impairment amount for exposures that are subject of the individual evaluation approach is calculated as a difference between the financial asset carrying amount and probability weighted present value of the estimated cash flows, discounted with the effective interest rate, where the expected credit losses are discounted at the reporting date, not at the date of expected default or any other date. For the purpose of determining a significant increase in credit risk and the recognition of expected credit losses, financial instruments may be grouped on the basis of common credit risk characteristics to facilitate the timely analysis of significant increase in credit risk determination. Impairment calculation on a collective basis for financial instruments allocated in Stage 1 is carried out on a 12-month basis, while for exposures allocated in Stage 2, the lifetime credit loss is calculated. Forward-looking information incorporation The purpose of the impairment is to recognise expected credit losses on a lifetime basis for financial instruments that had a significant increase in credit risk compared to initially estimated risks, whether the estimation is on individual or collective basis, considering all reasonable and substantiated information including those related to the future. In accordance with the above, incorporation of forward-looking information in expected credit losses calculation is done by adjusting the probability of default. Given that the Central Bank in its portfolio has financial instruments of issuers that are different by structure as well as by geographical distribution, in relation to incorporating forward looking information in expected credit losses calculation, the Central Bank relies on predicting changes in credit ratings for individual financial instruments, respectively issuers. Predictions of credit rating movement directions on calculated probability of default of three biggest credit rating agencies: positive, stable or negative outlook, is incorporated in probability of default by the principle of equal probabilities. The Central Bank uses individual and collective approach for impairment. Considering the portfolio structure and classification, the Central Bank will consider every exposure for which the objective impairment is determined, respectively the default is determined, as individually significant exposure and will apply the individual estimation approach. For an individual approach to impairment assessment, three different scenarios are used. It is not necessary to determine each possible scenario for the expected credit losses measurement, but it needs to be taken into the consideration the risk or likelihood of a credit loss occurring in a way that reflects the probability of a credit loss and the probability that there will be no credit loss, even when the probability of credit loss is very low. 6.1.1.

Market risk Market risk is the risk of market value changes in the financial assets and instruments due to the changes in the financial market conditions. The market risks that the Central Bank is exposed in its operations are: foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and gold price risk. The goal of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return. For the purpose of quantifying the market risk effects on the foreign currency reserves value, the Central Bank applies the Value at Risk (VaR) concept. VaR represents a statistical measure which shows the maximum loss that can occur in foreign currency reserves portfolio due to the changes in the financial instruments prices and the foreign exchange rates, given a certain level of confidence and a particular time horizon. VaR value for market risk is calculated by analytical (parametric) method, based on the mean value of gain/loss or yield rate of observed portfolio and standard deviation of observed data. The Central Bank, when calculating VaR, applies a level of confidence of 99% for a 10-day horizon. For the calculation of VaR of the Central Bank's foreign currency reserves portfolio, all positions which are exposed to market risks, i.e., gold price risk, interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk in foreign currency reserves portfolio are considered. As at 31 December 2025, the exposure of the Central Bank's foreign currency reserves to market risks (VaR at a level of confidence of 99% for a 10-day horizon), including fluctuations of the gold EUR prices, fluctuations of the prices of financial instruments and foreign exchange rates against the KM, equals to KM 108,829 thousand (2024: KM 73,590 thousand), which represents the equivalent of 0.60% of the total financial assets (2024: 0.42% of the total financial assets). The Value at Risk, in relation to 2024, increased by 47.88%, primarily due to the increased risk of the price of monetary gold (contribution to increase in VaR is 119.72%) while the interest rate risk of the Central bank's foreign currency reserve portfolio decreased ("negative contribution" to increase in VaR is 18.24%). Unlike in previous years, when the interest rate risk contributed the most to the VaR value, the gold price risk accounts for 71.21% of the VaR as at 31 December 2025 (2024: 47.99%). The share of foreign exchange risk in the VaR value remains very low. VaR values as at reporting dates are calculated as the sum of componential VaR values:

  • for monetary gold (VaR due to changes in EUR market price of monetary gold),
  • for debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (interest rate VaR due to changes in market yields, i.e., changes in market prices of debt instruments) and
  • for the part of debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income and deposits with foreign banks (foreign exchange VaR due to changes in foreign exchange rates) 6.2.1. Foreign exchange risk Foreign exchange risk is the risk of changes in foreign currency assets and liabilities due to the changes in foreign exchange rates. The Central Bank is exposed to foreign exchange risk through transactions in foreign currencies. Foreign exchange risk is primarily managed through reconciling currency structure of assets and liabilities of the Central Bank, as well through setting the quantitative limits for exposure to foreign exchange risk. 49 Total VaR 108,829 73,590 Interest rate risk 31,099 37,528 Gold price risk Foreign exchange risk 77,500 35,314 6.2.1. Foreign exchange risk (continued) The Central Bank's control and management of foreign exchange risk is based on the strict adherence to the provisions of the Law on the Central Bank and the Central Bank's internal regulations. The largest part of official foreign currency reserves is held in EUR, and the maximum amount that can be held in convertible currencies other than EUR, must not exceed the equivalent of 50% of the total amount of unimpaired equity and reserves of the Central Bank.

The Central Bank is not exposed to EUR foreign currency risk due to Currency Board arrangement aligning KM to EUR at fixed exchange rate of EUR 1 = KM 1.95583. 6.2.2. Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk of changes in market value of the financial assets due to the unfavourable movements of interest rates. The interest rate risk is managed by defining a target modified duration of invested foreign currency reserves, monitoring the value at risk, and selecting an appropriate market index which, with the necessary adjustments, represents the reference portfolio (benchmark) and prescribing the maximum amount of permitted deviation of the portfolio's return from the return of the corresponding benchmark (tracking error). The target modified duration is shortened or extended by the appropriate regulations of the Central Bank, depending on the current structure of the portfolio of foreign currency reserves, current market conditions and available expectations and forecasts, and in accordance with the strategic determination that the maximum allowed term of investing debt instruments with fixed income is ten years, and the maximum allowed investment term of deposits with foreign banks is one year.

For the portfolio of debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income with the remaining maturity of more than one year, managed by the Central Bank, the permitted deviation of the modified duration is +/- 0.30 years from the determined benchmark. For foreign currency reserve funds entrusted to an external portfolio manager for management under an agreement concluded with the World Bank as part of the RAMP Program, the modified duration deviation allowance is +/- 0.25 years from the respective benchmarks for the USD and EUR portfolios of debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (Note 10). The Central Bank uses a modified duration of debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income as a key measure of interest rate risk exposure. The modified duration is a measure of the price sensitivity of a financial instrument to changes in interest rates, i.e., the market yield of a debt instrument. Modified duration is expressed as the number of years and the longer the duration, the higher the interest rate risk. The modified duration of the portfolio is calculated as a weighted average of the maturities of cash flows of individual financial instruments in the portfolio, where the weight is the present value of the cash flow. During 2025, the modified duration of debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income, including foreign currency reserve funds entrusted to an external portfolio manager for management, was extended and amounts to 1.78 years as at 31 December 2025 (2024: 1.35 years), reflecting improved stability of the currency board arrangement. The following tables present the Central Bank's exposure to interest rate risk as at reporting dates by the financial instrument's carrying amount, categorized (classified into maturity classes) under criteria of re-determining interest rate dates in accordance with contractual arrangements (contractual cash flows, such as coupon payments) or the maturity date of the instruments. Accordingly, the criteria for classifying instruments into maturity classes for coupon debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income is the maturity date of the first subsequent coupon payment, while discount debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income, and debt instruments at amortised cost and deposits with foreign banks are classified into maturity classes according to the maturity date of the instrument:

Sensitivity analysis based on scenarios of predefined changes in market yields In order to quantify the effects of exposure of foreign currency reserves to interest rate risk, as an addition to the VaR analysis, a stress test (sensitivity analysis) is used, which, based on the modified duration of the portfolio of debt instruments, predicts the possible effect of changes in interest rates (market yields) on the financial assets of the Central Bank. For the Central Bank, the most important scenario is a possible unexpected growth in interest rates (fall in market prices of debt instruments), so the impact on financial assets is calculated in the event of an increase in interest rates (upward shift of the yield curve on euro bonds) according to the assumed scenario (predefined increases). Interest rate risk sensitivity analysis based on scenarios of predefined changes in market yields (interest rates) expressed in basis points (bp) shows the effects of changes in the level of the bond yield curve in the eurozone (the yield curve on euro bonds) on the value of the Central Bank's financial assets as at reporting dates. The effects of a change in the level of the euro yield curve represent a fall in the market values of debt instruments for predefined increases in interest rates by 1, 50, 100 or 200 basis points. This analysis assumes that all other variables are unchanged at observed reporting dates.

Sensitivity analysis - scenarios of assumed changes in market yields as at 31 December 2025

Sensitivity analysis - scenarios of assumed changes in market yields as at 31 December 2024

In the case of the scenario of an upward shift of the yield curve on euro bonds by 1 bp (0.01%), the financial assets of the Central Bank would be decreased by KM 1,745 thousand as at 31 December 2025 (As at 31 December 2024: KM 1,168 thousand). In the case of the scenario of a downward shift of the yield curve on euro bonds by 1 bp (0.01%), the financial assets of the Central Bank would be higher by KM 1,745 thousand as at 31 December 2025 (As at 31 December 2024: KM 1,168 thousand). The effects on the value of financial assets in the case of a scenario of larger shifts (+/- 50 bp, +/- 100 bp, or +/- 200 bp) of the yield curve on euro bonds, would be proportional to the effects of the change in the value of financial assets caused by the mentioned shifts in the yield curve for +/- 1 bp (+/- 0.01%). 6.2.3. Gold price risk Monetary gold, as part of the Central Bank's foreign currency reserves, is exposed to gold price risk. Gold price risk is defined as the risk of changes in the value of financial assets resulting from changes in the gold price in financial markets. The gold price in financial markets is expressed in EUR per fine ounce (EUR/oz), while for financial reporting purposes, the market price of monetary gold in the Central Bank's foreign currency reserves portfolio is expressed in KM equivalents per fine ounce (KM/oz). Gold price risk is managed by setting a maximum quantity of monetary gold in the Central Bank's foreign currency reserves portfolio, in order to ensure that fluctuations in the gold price do not have an excessive impact on the coverage of the Central Bank's monetary liabilities by net foreign currency reserves. As at 31 December 2025, the total quantity of monetary gold in the Central Bank's assets amounts to 112,000 fine ounces (31 December 2024: 112,000 fine ounces). During 2025, due to a combination of geopolitical instability, depreciation of USD, stimulative monetary policies of the leading world central banks, increased gold purchases by central banks and rising investor demand, the market gold price increased by 44.93%, reaching the level of 7,184.05 KM/oz as at 31 December 2025, compared to 4,956.76 KM/oz as at 31 December 2024.

Market risk (continued) 6.2.3. Gold price risk (continued) Sensitivity analysis based on the scenarios of predefined changes in market gold price In order to quantify the effects of exposure of foreign currency reserves to gold price risk, in addition to the VaR analysis, a stress test (sensitivity analysis) is used, which estimates the possible impact of changes in market gold price on the financial assets of the Central Bank. For the Central Bank, the most important scenario is a possible unexpected decline in gold price so the impact and therefore financial assets is calculated in the event of a decrease in gold price according to the assumed scenario (predefined percentage decreases of market gold price expressed in KM equivalents/oz). Gold price sensitivity analysis based on scenarios of predefined changes in market gold price in KM/oz, expressed in percentages (%) shows the effects of changes in the level of the gold price on the value of the Central Bank's financial assets as at reporting dates. The effects of changes in the level of the gold price represent a decrease in fair value of monetary gold in the assets of the Central Bank for predefined decreases in market gold price by 1, 10, 20 or 50 percentages. This analysis assumes that the gold quantity in the assets of the Central Bank and all other variables are unchanged at observed reporting dates. Sensitivity analysis - scenarios of assumed percentage changes in market gold price as at 31 December 2025

Sensitivity analysis - scenarios of assumed percentage changes in market gold price as at 31 December 2024

In the case of the scenario of an increase of the market gold price expressed in KM equivalents per fine ounce (KM/oz) by 1%, the financial assets of the Central Bank would be increased by KM 8,046 thousand as at 31 December 2025 (As at 31 December 2024: KM 5,552 thousand). In the case of the scenario of a decrease of the market gold price expressed in KM equivalents per fine ounce (KM/oz) by 1%, the financial assets of the Central Bank would be decreased by KM 8,046 thousand as at 31 December 2025 (As at 31 December 2024: KM 5,552 thousand). The effects on the value of financial assets in the case of a scenario of larger changes of the gold price (+/- 10%, +/- 20%, or +/- 50%), would be proportional to the effects of the change in the value of financial assets caused by the mentioned changes in the market gold price expressed in KM equivalents per fine ounce (KM/oz) for +/- 1%.

Liquidity risk Liquidity risk refers to the possible difficulties in liquidating a portion of assets quickly, which is possible in the situation where market conditions are unfavourable and when there is unfavourable movement in prices. The liquidity of the foreign currency reserves portfolio is provided by holding a sufficient amount of liquid instruments in the portfolio. Liquid assets are defined as those assets whose conversion into cash causes minimal transaction costs and whose value is the closest to market value. Considering the need of guaranteeing the KM convertibility, the daily liquidity should be provided by the maturity adjustment of the Central Bank foreign currency reserves. The liquidity framework should match the forecasted potential liquidity needs with identified liquid instruments, The liquidity of each financial instrument eligible for investment must be duly considered before the investment in the instrument is made.

  2. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
    The Central Bank purchased the land for the construction of the office building for the Main Unit Sarajevo under a contract with the Municipality Centar. The Municipality Centar subsequently issued a decision refusing to grant urban planning permission, which, after the second-instance procedure, became final by the decision of the relevant cantonal Ministry. As at reporting date, the Central Bank is involved in one court proceeding regarding the termination of the land purchase contract with the Municipality Centar and the damage compensation (31. December 2024: Two court proceedings, one of which concerns the termination of the land purchase contract with the Municipality Centar and the damage compensation, while the other relates to the annulment of the decision of the relevant cantonal Ministry). During 2025, in court proceeding relating to the annulment of the decision of the relevant cantonal Ministry regarding the issuance of an urban planning permit, the Cantonal Court in Sarajevo ruled in favour of the Central Bank's appeal. This judgment annulled both the first-instance and second-instance decisions and remitted the case to the Municipality Centar for reconsideration. The Central Bank is the legal owner of the land and has no outstanding contractual obligations towards the Municipality Centar as the seller of the land. As at reporting dates, except from the above mentioned, the Central Bank has no other encumbrances over its property and equipment. 67 Property and Equipment Land Assets under equipment and and As at 31 December 2025 As at 1 January 2024 As at 31 December 2025 As at 1 January 2024 As at 31 December 2025 construction buildings Vehicles furniture 49,674 49,674 10,267 39,407 1,224 1,735 1,221 1,233 Other 1,072 1,192 26,844 28,497 8,293 21,203 22,801 78,963 81,932 31,653 35,285 5,696 46,647 total - - As at 1 January 2025 Cost As at 31 December 2024 Accumulated depreciation As at 31 December 2024 Net carrying amount 49,674 40,801 1,489 1,227 1,186 28,740 8,873 21,716 81,226 32,775 7,024 48,451 - Charge for the year Transferred to use Write offs and disposals Additions Returned to use (1,160) (3,429) 1,394 (1,161) 3,049 (1) 2,126 2,393 2,126 3,915 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Charge for the year Additions Returned to use Transferred to use Write offs and disposals Write offs and disposals Write offs and disposals (1,323) (1,159) (1,308) (1,429) (58) (39) (58) (39) (1,420) (1,160) (1,405) 1,080 1,668 3,417 (1) 3,417 2,278 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 15.

The corresponding amounts of realised gains from released provisions for expected credit losses for debt instruments sold are presented in Note 6.1.1.

  1. NET FOREIGN EXCHANGE (LOSSES) / GAINS In the current reporting periods, the presented amounts of foreign exchange differences mainly resulted from changes in the foreign exchange rates of the Central Bank's foreign currency reserve funds denominated in USD currency, which have largely been entrusted to an external portfolio manager for management. In 2025, the USD currency predominantly depreciated against KM (2024: the USD currency predominantly appreciated against KM). The following table presents an analytical presentation of foreign exchange differences for the purpose of allocating the Central Bank's annual net profit:

  5. ALLOCATION OF THE ANNUAL NET PROFIT
    Allocation of the annual net profit is carried out in accordance with the Law on the Central Bank, under which the Central Bank applies the legal rules for allocation of the annual net profit, as disclosed in Note 2.4.2. The following table presents the amounts of net profit for distribution, to which the legal rules for allocation to general reserves or to the BH budget apply:

77 TOTAL TOTAL 9,724 5,272 5,373 9,558 NET PROFIT FOR DISTRIBUTION 407,972 307,367 Net unrealised foreign exchange gains (-) Costs of production and design of coins (4,628) 2,508 2,565 - Net profit for the year Payment systems maintenance expenses Overhead expenses IT infrastructure expenses Access to official services expenses Fixed assets maintenance expenses Other administrative and operating expenses Costs of production and design of banknotes 412,600 1,825 1,017 1,078 4,372 307,367 2,764 2,808 1,889 1,282 1,260 1,009 3,451 31. ALLOCATION OF THE ANNUAL NET PROFIT (CONTINUED) As disclosed in Note 25, the Central Bank incurred net unrealised foreign exchange losses in the amount of KM 11,812 thousand in 2025 (2024: Net unrealised foreign exchange gains in the amount of KM 4,628 thousand). The net profit for 2025 in the amount of KM 307,367 thousand also represents the amount of net profit available for distribution (2024: The net profit available for distribution amounted to KM 407,972 thousand, after deducting net unrealised foreign exchange gains from the total annual net profit and transferring them to the legally prescribed reserve). The provisions of the Law on the Central Bank define the criteria for the net profit allocation determined in this manner, according to which the Central Bank allocates 60% of the net profit available for distribution to the account of the institution responsible for the BH budget, and 40% of the net profit to Central Bank's general reserves (retained earnings), if the criterion that the amount of the initial capital and general reserves (retained earnings) is equal to 5000% of the total monetary liabilities is met. The compliance with this criterion prior to net profit allocation is presented in the following table:

In 2025, the ratio of initial capital and general reserves (retained earnings) to monetary liabilities before net profit allocation amounts to 5.900%, thereby meeting the legally prescribed criterion for allocation (2024: 4.995%). In 2024, the Central Bank first allocated a portion of the net profit to general reserves (retained earnings) in order to meet the legally prescribed criterion as presented in the following table:

Allocation of net profit, after meeting the legally prescribed criterion is presented in following table:

EQUITY (CONTINUED)

  • Fair value reserves for monetary gold and represent cumulative unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in market value of monetary gold during its holding period.
    Reserves for unrealised foreign exchange differences Reserves for unrealised foreign exchange differences relate to net unrealised gains arising from foreign exchange differences, established in accordance with the Law on the Central Bank. The use of these reserves is permitted solely in circumstances prescribed by the Law on the Central Bank, as disclosed in Note 2.4.2. Other reserves relate to: • Special reserves from grants in the amount of KM 3,497 thousand, which relate to grants received in cash from the Council of Ministers of Bosnia and Herzegovina on 12 June 1998. The status of these reserves is regulated by the Decision of the Governing Board of the Central Bank with the approval of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

  1. BH MEMBERSHIP WITH THE IMF According to arrangements concluded between BH and the IMF, the Central Bank is designated as a fiscal agent and depository for BH membership with the IMF. The Central Bank's role as the fiscal agent is specific due to currency board arrangement. By performing the function of fiscal agent defined by the Law on the Central Bank and by the Law on the borrowing, debt and guarantees of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Central Bank is not obliged in any way to pay any debt of BH nor can be attributed to pay such debt nor its foreign currency reserves can in no way be considered as a guarantee for the payment of such debt.

BH MEMBERSHIP WITH THE IMF (CONTINUED) The Central Bank maintains Special Drawing Rights account with the IMF, IMF account No.1 and IMF account No.2 in the statement of financial position. The Central Bank also provides a custody service for the BH Promissory notes issued to support IMF membership and repurchase obligations that are recorded off-balance. Special Drawing Rights with the IMF are demand funds denominated in SDR on the account opened with the IMF for the BH. The Central Bank holds Special Drawing Rights as a part of its foreign currency reserve management function. These funds are interest-bearing for the Central Bank. IMF account No. 1 is the IMF account with the Central Bank that is used for transactions with the IMF related to utilization and repayment of IMF loans. IMF account No. 2 is the IMF account with the Central Bank that is used by the IMF for receipts and administrative disbursements in KM on Bosnia and Herzegovina territory. These accounts are part of the Central Bank's liabilities and are denominated in KM. The quota balance is a specific type of asset which represents BH's subscription as a member of the IMF, denominated in SDRs. The quota represents BH's voting powers in the IMF, the limits to access to financial resources of the IMF and a BH's share in the allocation of SDRs which are the IMF's unit of account. Promissory notes are issued by the Ministry of Finance and Treasury of BH and are substituted for KM. These securities are payable on demand by the IMF. SDR allocation is also interest-bearing. Ministry of Finance and Treasury of BH pays interest on Special Drawing Rights allocation. Promissory notes account, IMF account No.1 and IMF account No. 2 are subject of valuation adjustments whenever the currency is used in financial transactions between the IMF and BH. At least once per year, at the end of the IMF's financial year (30 April), all IMF currency holding are revalued based on the prevailing SDR exchange rate. These valuation adjustments are included in account balances stated. The Central Bank uses net method in presentation of BH financial position with the IMF which is provided by the following table:

As at reporting dates, BH quota with the IMF amount to SDR 265,200 thousand.

DOMESTIC PAYMENT AND SETTLEMENT SYSTEMS In accordance with the Law on the Central Bank, the Central Bank has established the systems by which interbank payments in KM in BH are performed. Since January 2001, the interbank clearing and settlement systems are organized through two payment systems owned and administered by the Central Bank. Those are Real-Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) and Giro Clearing system (GC). RTGS is a system through which real-time payment orders are settled through settlement accounts that participants have opened with the Central Bank. All the banks licenced to perform payment operations are participants, as well as the Central Bank. Settlement is final and irrevocable at the moment that settlement account of ordering bank is debited with the same amount that beneficiary's bank settlement account is credited in RTGS. Transactions processed through system are above KM 10 thousand, and its use for lower amounts is optional. During 2025, the process of migrating the system from the MT FIN to the MX message format was initiated, as part of the comprehensive modernisation of the payment infrastructure through which interbank payments are processed in BH. The GC System is an interbank clearing system (bilateral and multilateral) for transactions in the amounts lower or equal to KM 10 thousand. The settlement of net positions of participants in GC system is carried out through settlement accounts in RTGS as well as settlement of transactions of legal persons acting as clearing agents, such as card transaction operators. Participants of the system are banks licenced to perform payment operations that are RTGS participants, as well as the Central Bank. The system is adjusted to SEPA standard, i.e., ISO 20022. The clearing of payment orders of all the GC participants is carried out by defining the net position of each individual participant as a result of the settlement of all credits and debits of participants for each clearing cycle. During 2025, activities for the implementation of the TIPS Clone system for instant payments were initiated. TIPS Clone is an instant payment system on which the Central Bank, in collaboration with the Central Bank of Italy, is actively working. The objective is to establish the principle 24/7/365 payment processing as standard practice. The TIPS Clone platform is technically aligned with the TIPS platform used in the European Union, thereby creating the technical prerequisites for potential future integration of BH payment infrastructure with the payment systems of the European Union. These payment infrastructure modernisation activities aim to further strengthen the resilience of the Central Bank's payment systems and to continue the alignment with international standards. Credit risk Each participant in the payment systems is obliged to provide funds on its settlement account in RTGS prior to settlement of payment orders. Pursuant to the role of the Central Bank as defined by the Law on the Central Bank, the Central Bank is not allowed to provide any credits to RTGS and GC System participants which would provide liquidity to the system in any form. Operational risk In order to minimize the operational risk of the smooth functioning of payment systems, Operational Rules for the RTGS and GC System have been issued, as accompanying Decisions setting minimum security standards for the functioning of the system. Relevant security objectives, policies and procedures aim to ensure security measures and features. The systems and networks are operated according to established objectives and policies. The security objectives and policies are reviewed periodically. Each direct participant is also required to have appropriate security measures and controls for processing payments. 85

  1. DOMESTIC PAYMENT AND SETTLEMENT SYSTEMS (CONTUNUED) The Central Bank has defined the following Contingency Settlement Procedures:
  • Contingency plans and measures: The Central Bank has defined contingency measures in order to ensure continuity of reliable, correct and lawful operation of the payment and settlement systems in the event of disruption to the regular payment and settlement system, or other contingency events.
  • Backup system in primary location and DR location: To support the primary location for the payment systems with redundant systems (if case of system falling, switching to another one on the primary location is done), the Central Bank has also established functional DR (Disaster Recovery) system located in Main Bank of Republic of Srpska Central Bank in Banja Luka. Oversight and development of payment systems Applying the principles and responsibilities defined in" Principles of Financial Markets Infrastructure" adopted by the BIS Committee on Payments and Settlements systems (CPSS) and the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO), the Central Bank performs permanent monitoring and periodical assessment of the functioning of payment systems in relation to the adopted principles. Evaluation compliance activities and system monitoring promote security and efficiency of payment systems and undisturbed performance of interbank payment operations in BH providing directly support to the maintenance of financial stability in BH by the Central Bank. Also, through development function, the Central Bank actively participates in preparation and implementation phases related to innovations in payment systems and analyses their impact on BH economy and the impact on public policy objectives of secure and efficient payment systems.
  1. EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD The Governor of the Central Bank, with the prior approval of the Governing Board, appointed Tomislav Ivanković, M.Sc., as Vice Governor of the Central Bank for a four-year term, effective from 1 January 2026. The Governor of the Central Bank, with the prior approval of the Governing Board, appointed Marko Vidaković, M.Sc., as Vice Governor of the Central Bank for a four-year term, effective from 20 March 2026. Following the expiry of the deadline for the submission of out-of-circulation banknotes by resident banks, i.e., as at 20 January 2026, the Central Bank accounted for unwithdrawn out-of-circulation banknotes in denominations of 10, 20, 50 and 100 Convertible Marks, which were issued into circulation between 1998 and 2009 and ceased to be legal tender as at 1 January 2025. On this basis, income from seigniorage was recognized in the amount of KM 85,233 thousand. Out-of-circulation banknotes submitted after this deadline are recognized as an expense arising from the adjustment to the Central Bank's seigniorage income. Except from the above mentioned, no adjusting or non-adjusting events have occurred between 31 December 2025 and the date of authorization of these financial statements.
