The v3.2 stress index is a six-axis composite of energy and food exposure, geopolitical pressure, fiscal headroom, demography and supply concentration, normalised to a 0–1 scale.
Bosnia and Herzegovina is unusual in the Balkans as a net electricity exporter, running on domestic lignite and hydropower. It imports all of its oil and a small volume of gas, the latter entirely from Russia via a single route. Cereal output covers only part of demand.
Bosnia and Herzegovina is relatively water-rich, with abundant rivers and hydropower reservoirs.
