Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the paper is to provide an overview of the business environment in Bosnia and Herzegovina and to explain its impact on the inflow of foreign direct investments. The paper will further analyze the structure, amounts and inflow of foreign direct investments that Bosnia and Herzegovina has attracted in recent years. According to data from international organizations reports, and based on most indicators, Bosnia and Herzegovina continues to lag behind neighboring countries. In order to stimulate the flow of foreign direct investments, it is necessary to create preconditions for their greater inflow, but also to create a favorable business environment that will be attractive for foreign investors. Bosnia and Herzegovina must undertake a number of activities, in order to improve the overall business climate. Which existing business obstacles need to be removed as a matter of priority that would result in an increase in foreign direct investments, will also be the subject of consideration in this paper.
