What happened

Croatia expects its gross domestic product to surpass 100 billion euros in 2026, with Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic projecting economic growth of 2.3 to 2.4 percent. However, annual inflation stood at 4.7 percent in September. Energy prices rose 20.5 percent year-on-year in September amid supply disruptions linked to the conflict in the Middle East.
