Trade Balance in Croatia

Croatia - Trade Balance
Available data paints a mixed picture for the economy in the final quarter of 2018, following solid growth in the third quarter that was mainly driven by upbeat domestic demand. On one hand, industrial production plummeted in December—the sixth monthly contraction in a row—on a sharp drop in manufacturing output, pointing to waning economic activity at year-end. On the other hand, retail sales accelerated in October and November which, coupled with improved consumer sentiment on average throughout the quarter, suggest that private consumption strengthened somewhat in Q4. Furthermore, buoyant growth of tourist arrivals in the first two months of the quarter—with the country on track to log another record tourist season in 2018—bode well for maintaining a strong external position for the year overall.Croatia - Trade Balance Data
