Key Highlights
The Croatian construction industry has been in decline since 2009. In real terms, the construction industrys output contracted by 39.9% between 2009 and 2015. According to the Croatian Bureau of Statistics (CBS), the countrys seasonally adjusted annual average construction work index declined by 0.9%, from 68.6 in 2014 to 68.0 in 2015. However, government efforts to restore economic growth through large-scale infrastructure investments are leading to improvement in the construction activity in the country. In addition, the EUs provision of financial aid to develop infrastructure projects across the country is also adding momentum to construction activity.

In a bid to promote economic growth in Europe, the EC launched the CEF program in 2014. Under this program, the EC made investments to develop various cross-border projects in the transport, energy and telecommunication sectors until 2020. Accordingly, in June 2016, the EC approved HRK2.3 billion (US$335.3 million) to finance 12 transport infrastructure projects in Croatia.

With an aim to develop the countrys infrastructure, the government is seeking financial assistance from the EU. Accordingly, in March 2015, the European Investment Bank (EIB) granted a loan of HRK2.2 billion (US$320.8 million) as the initial disbursement of the total loan of HRK4.5 billion (US$656.2 million). This disbursement is a part of the EIBs move to co-finance HRK60.6 billion (US$8.8 billion) worth of priority infrastructure projects in various sectors, such as healthcare, energy and transport.

Tourism is a key sector in the Croatian economy, and constitutes over one-fifth of the countrys GDP. The government is therefore making efforts to promote growth in the tourism sector. As a part of the move, in April 2016, the Croatian Tourism Ministry signed an agreement with Avenue Ulaganja, to develop the Kupari tourism project in Dubrovnik with an investment of over HRK1.0 billion (US$145.8 million).
