Croatia experienced economic growth throughout 2023, surpassing both the EU and the euro area averages. This growth was driven by various factors, prominently including a resilient demand for tourist services, heightened utilization of EU funds, and an expansionary fiscal policy. Real economic activity in 2023 is anticipated to be 2.6% higher than the previous year, reflecting the strength of domestic demand and service exports. Inflation is expected to decelerate to 8.4% in 2023, down from 10.7% in 2022.
