Croatia

Croatia climbed 2 places to 74th, between Sri Lanka and Costa Rica, though the jump owed more to currency and prices than to output. US$ GDP rose 13.0% to US$105.1 billion against real growth of +3.4%; the 9.6-percentage-point gap was mostly exchange-rate and price effects.

Services make up 60.9% of output and industry 19.0%, with manufacturing at 10.1% and agriculture at 2.8%. Inflation was 3.7%, unemployment 5.0% and government gross debt 56.3% of GDP.

With 3.9 million people, output per person reached US$27,104, 52nd of 196, and $50,946 international dollars on a purchasing-power basis, 49th. The economy is about the size of the Oklahoma City, OK metro area. GDP has grown 4.7x since 2000, when it stood at US$22.1 billion and ranked 65th. The IMF projects US$140.0 billion by 2030, up 33%, which would place Croatia 75th among economies with forecasts.
