2010 will be another year of recession in Croatia.
Fiscal constraints and high foreign indebtedness constitute a major obstacle to financing public investment projects.
Employment will continue to contract, possibly triggering a further decline in household consumption.
The expectations are that GDP growth, might only rebound in 2011, provided foreign demand for both goods and services increases.
