Inventory Of Energy Subsidies And Support Measures In The Western Balkans - Bosnia And Herzegovina

The Inventory of Energy Subsidies and Support Measures in the Western Balkans presents information on subsidies and other support measures to the production, processing, marketing and consumption of energy products in the Western Balkans. It builds on and expands the methodology and structure of the OECD Inventory of Support Measures for Fossil Fuels and expands its coverage to the Western Balkans. The Inventory covers the six economies of the Western Balkans (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo*, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Serbia). This inventory follows the methodological approach of the OECD FFS inventory but expands upon it by broadening the scope to include induced and financial support for both fossil fuels and renewable sources of energy.

This Inventory was developed as part of the OECD project on Energy Prices and Subsidies in the Western Balkans: Reforms for a Fair and Green Future. The Inventory formed the report's primary analytical basis, and the report presents further details on the construction of the inventory data.

The Inventory identifies individual support schemes and provides detailed information and corresponding values for each, similarly to the OECD FFS inventory.** ** The number of schemes identified ranges between 18 in Montenegro and 40 in Bosnia and Herzegovina. These schemes support both fossil fuel and renewable energy production and consumption. The Inventory covers subsidies and support measures identified over the period 2018-2023.
