Current Account in Croatia
Croatia - Current Account
Recently-released national accounts data showed that the economy lost steam in the final quarter of 2018, as annual growth moderated to a one-year low, following a solid third-quarter outturn which was underpinned by upbeat domestic demand. A weak external sector dragged on overall activity as exports barely grew, which were primarily supported by the booming tourism industry, while imports spiked. Similar to Q3, the fourth-quarter expansion was propped up by healthy demand at home: Private consumption strengthened notably amid lower inflation and improved consumer confidence, while fixed investment growth jumped to a near two-year high. Going forward, the unemployment rate climbed for the fourth month in a row in January while consumer confidence deteriorated yet again in February—both hinting at the persistence of soft dynamics at the start of the year.Croatia - Current Account Data
