S&P expects that Croatia’s economy will expand by 2.5% in real terms in 2022, supported by recovery in the tourism sector and a pick-up in investments. It also highlights that in their view eurozone accession, targeted for 2023, would reduce foreign exchange risks and improve Croatia’s monetary flexibility.
Among other things, the agency affirmed Croatia’s stable outlook, assessing that Croatia’s economy is supposed to grow at a stable pace in the next two years despite unfavourable inflation trends and the macroeconomic consequences of the war in Ukraine.
