CBBH is not in Charge for the Usage of Euros in Payment Transactions

The Central Bank of BH (CBBH) reminds citizens as well as the participants in transactions of goods and services it is not in charge for the usage of the euro, nor any other foreign currency in BH, since BH has its own currency, the Convertible Mark, for which the CBBH is responsible.

A larger number of BH citizens addressed the CBBH through the Consumers' Association with the request to make a statement regarding the fact that some participants in the transactions of goods and services, without any apparent reason, do not accept euro banknotes and coins.

CBBH supports the usage of the local currency, the Convertible Mark, but at the same time it reminds that the usage of the euro banknotes and coins in the payment transactions is not prohibited.

This means that the euro can be used only with the consent of both sides - seller and buyer, which means that the sides can, but do not have to accept euro banknotes or coins if they do not want to.
