In addition, this paper analyzes the qualitative research whose main goal is to gain the respondents’ opinions about the past experiences and possible concrete progress that has been made in developing of the banking sector in B&H. Summarized results of the questionnaire, also, show that the consolidation of domestic banking market, although slow, is not yet fully completed and that the regulation in the field of banking supervision has a positive impact on improvement of the banks’ soundness, discipline and strengthening of their competitiveness.
