Croatian Economic Growth and Outlook for COVID-19 Outbreak in 2022
The latest forecast by the Central Bank of Croatia forecasts real GDP growth of 10.8% in 2021 and 4.1% in 2022. The central bank had previously forecast GDP growth of 8.5% in 2021. Central Bank Governor Vujicic said the economy is expected to expand by 11% in the fourth quarter due to higher exports of services and goods. Potential risks to economic growth next year include a worsening of the epidemic situation, disruptions to global supply chains, uncertainty and a decline in investment due to rising inflation. The positive factor is that the absorption of EU funds by Croatia is expected to be better than expected. Inflation will rise to 2.4% this year and is expected to remain at the same level in 2022.

The Croatian government subscribed 50 shares to the AIIB with a capital of 5 million US dollars, and designated the Ministry of Finance of Croatia as the official agency for communication with the AIIB.

The official membership of Croatia will help Croatian enterprises to participate in the bidding of projects financed by AIIB in Asia and other regions, enhance the international reputation of Croatian enterprises, and expand the trade and cooperation between Croatia and Asia and other regions.
