Croatia’s accession to the euro area and the EU’s border-free Schengen zone boosted tourism in 2023. The country’s full EU integration will also provide a fillip to trade and investment in the long term. EU related funds were already supporting investment activity in the country in 2022, and have continued to do so this year. Nevertheless, persistently high levels of inflation have put real incomes, external demand and investment sentiment under pressure, which is why we have maintained our growth forecast for 2023 of 2.5%.
