Summary/Abstract: By signing the global Agenda 2030 in 2015, Bosnia and Herzegovina undertook to implement 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs). The aforementioned implementation requires significant financial resources, while banks have been identified as important participants in this process. This paper presents the results of research whose goal was to determine how much banks and micro-credit organizations in BiH financially support projects that contribute to the sustainable development goals. Research has shown that the aforementioned credit lines are mainly directed towards energy efficiency and renewable energy sources, while the loan amounts are modest and mostly financed by international organizations. Although industrialization, innovation and infrastructure are considered drivers of sustainable development, very few banks offer credit lines for these purposes.
