The emergence of coronavirus (COVID-19) was primarily a tragedy for humanity, affecting millions of people. It is also having an increasing impact on the global economy, especially the economies of developing countries, such as Bosnia and Herzegovina. Report | Economic Impact Assessment of COVID-19 in BiH Executive Summary With the COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic being a global crisis without a modern parallel, countries are racing to respond to this massive and fast-moving challenge. The lack of global precedent for a „black swan” event is extremely broad in its magnitude and impact across geographic, demographic and economic sectors, and thus emphasizes the importance of the actions companies and policymakers will have to take during the response and recovery period. During January 2020, the new disease began to attract media and public attention worldwide. Scientists soon discovered that the cause of the disease was a new type of coronavirus, officially named SARS-CoV-2, which first appeared in the Chinese city of Wuhan, and for which an appropriate medical response is yet to be discovered. Bosnia and Herzegovina, as one of the countries affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, had the first case confirmed on March 5, 2020, and the number of infected persons has been rapidly growing since then. The overall impact of this pandemic on businesses and supply chains is still not completely known, as economic forecasts are not convergent and quickly undergo substantial revisions. The impact takes on multiple channels, affecting both the supply and demand side of the economy, thus making future forecasts difficult due to the number of factors that must be taken into account. The clearer picture should be available after the end (or easing) of the pandemic, while global recovery will depend on the ability of the affected countries to cope with the effects of the virus. However, one thing is for sure: this event will have global financial consequences that will be felt in almost every branch of the economy. The Economic Impact Assessment (EIA) report presents an overview of the current state of the BiH economy, with an emphasis on the economic situation of vulnerable social groups and industry-level consequences of the COVID- 19 pandemic. The objective of this rapid assessment is to identify the impact of the COVID-19 containment measures such as quarantine, closing of businesses and the disruption of global supply chains on the BiH economy as well as business sector responses to this shock. Finally, the objective is to identify options to address such impact for the private sector. Particular attention is paid to SMEs, export-oriented companies, as well as those in the services sector and agriculture/food production. The assessment report is intended to inform relevant stakeholders for the purpose of their response and recovery interventions to help minimize the negative impacts on companies, institutions, communities and the society. The rapid assessment is based on data collected through specialized surveys conducted for the purpose of this analysis, but also on surveys and research by third parties, and focus groups held with company representatives to bridge data gaps. Special focus was on market feedback around: Productivity losses and effects on employment due to demand loss as well as other reasons, Adjustments of companies to reflect supply and demand disruptions, Recommendations for immediate actions to be undertaken as well as short- and long-term support measures to reduce and mitigate the severity of the pandemic on BiH economy. Key research indicators show that the most directly impacted industries already have been those related to accommodation, food service, and transport, while textiles and fabricated metals sectors experienced the worst hit with regard to the supply chain disruptions. However, in the upcoming months, indirect impact of the crisis is expected to significantly affect the entire economy. Across all key sectors, majority of surveyed firms believe that their turnover will decrease in the 3-month period. It is also alarming that in one of the two most directly affected sectors – Accommodation and food services, 43% of all firms believe that they will have to cease operations completely in three months. However, some of the industries have used the pandemic situation as an opportunity for success, such as the ICT sector, considering changes that involve technology investment, infrastructure deployment, solution strategy and planning. Overall, majority of the firms in BiH have had their normal business capacity utilization decline and turnover decrease as a result of COVID-19 related measures implemented in March and April 2020. With regard to near future perspectives and based on the primary data, majority of firms are planning to take labour cost cutting actions, such as wage reduction and layoffs in the short-term time horizon, defined by 3 to 6 months. They nevertheless took the optimistic view that such measures will be temporary as only half of the companies indicated such measures beyond the 6-month period. Primary data from two surveys is analysed using selected statistical methods. In addition to descriptive statistics, cluster analysis is utilized to identify sectors that are similar in terms of employment of vulnerable groups and other labour market indicators, while the analysis of variance (ANOVA) is performed to test how firm size relates to future 4 Report | Economic Impact Assessment of COVID-19 in BiH business expectations. The analysis shows that smaller firms in key sectors have already been more exposed to the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and are less prepared to deal with the forthcoming indirect impacts. However, larger firms will tend to have larger, more developed supply chains and will therefore be subject to greater external shocks. Employees working routine-task jobs that require little formal education and experience are the vulnerable group most prone to being negatively affected as a result of the pandemic-induced economic downturn. Results of the primary data analysis also indicated that COVID-19 would have an adverse impact on the most vulnerable group of workers: precarious workers. Explicitly, two specific groups of precarious workers have and will continue to be adversely affected: young people and unskilled individuals. Primary data also shows

The work of a Neoplatonic philosopher Porphyry, “Introduction” (Greek: Eijsagwgh;v Latin: Isagoge; Arabic: Īsāġūğī) , can be seen, in all periods of education in Bosnia and Herze - govina, as the main text, the principal textbook, as a motivation for logical thinking.

    ISSN 2303-4521 PERIODICALS OF ENGINEERING AND NATURAL SCIENCES Vol. 1 No. 2 (2013) Available online at: http://pen.ius.edu.ba Science-Technology Park Ilidža as a Generator of Innovation Potential and SME’s Development in Bosnia and Herzegovina Darko Petković Hazim Bašić Benjamin Duraković Faculty of Mechanical Engineering Faculty of Mechanical Engineering International University Sarajevo University of Zenica University of Sarajevo Faculty of Engineering [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Sanja Prodanović Faculty of Economics East Sarajevo University of East Sarajevo [email protected] Abstract Many nations are currently adopting a variety of directed strategies to launch and support the development of research parks. Science and technology research parks are seen increasingly as a means to create dynamic clusters that accelerate economic growth and international competitiveness. Technology parks represent the place of SME's development and the place of the most direct technological transfer. Research parks encourage greater collaboration among universities, research laboratories, and SMEs, providing a means to help convert new ideas into the innovative technologies for the market. They are recognized to be a tool to create successful new companies, sustain them and attract new ones, especially in the science, technology, and innovation sector. Universities, in turn, benefit by exposure to the business world. What all these parks have in common is that they are, at heart, knowledge partnerships that foster innovation. University research and science parks provide the launch pad that startup companies need when they are "spun out" from a university or company. The current state of development of technology parks in Bosnia and Herzegovina and possibilities of establishment of a new technology park in Sarajevo (Ilidža) region are analyzed in this paper.
