Key Takeaways
Croatia GDP Growth (1991-2023)
Croatia's GDP growth was marked by significant challenges following its independence in 1991, with sharp contractions in the early 1990s due to war, hitting a low of -21.1% in 1991. The post-war recovery period in the mid-1990s saw growth resuming positively, peaking at 6.8% in 1995 due to economic stabilization and reforms. The 2009 global financial crisis impacted Croatia severely, resulting in a -7.2% contraction. After joining the EU in 2013, growth remained moderate, stabilizing around 3-4% annually until the COVID-19 pandemic triggered an -8.5% contraction in 2020. Recovery was strong in 2021, with growth reaching 13%, driven by tourism and EU funding.
