Abstract

This paper assesses the relative efficiency of government spending on health care and education in Croatia by using the so-called Data Envelopment Analysis. The analysis finds evidence of significant inefficiencies in Croatia's spending on health care and education, related to inadequate cost recovery, weaknesses in the financing mechanisms and institutional arrangements, weak competition in the provision of these services, and weaknesses in targeting public subsidies on health care and education. These inefficiencies suggest that government spending on health and education could be reduced without undue sacrifices in the quality of these services. The paper identifies ways to do that.

Abstract

This paper examines Croatia’s 2004 Article IV Consultation and Request for Stand-By Arrangement (SBA). Croatia has established a record of solid growth and low inflation since the mid-1990s. Real GDP growth has averaged about 4.5 percent, with inflation in the low single digits. This performance compares well with the European Union-15 (EU-15) and other Central and Eastern European countries (CEECs). Structural reform has also advanced, and the private sector is vibrant. To support their policies for 2004–05, the authorities have requested a new 20-month SBA, which they intend to treat as precautionary.

Abstract

The 2006 Article IV consultation underlies policy issues, including fiscal policy, monetary policy, and structural issues of the Republic of Croatia. Although bank restructuring and privatization have strengthened the financial sector, strong credit expansion and foreign exchange-induced credit risk have raised concerns. To address external vulnerabilities and reduce the burden of the large government on economic growth, Executive Directors recommended more ambitious fiscal consolidation than the authorities’ medium-term plans currently envisage. They stressed the urgency of restructuring the loss-making shipyards and removing impediments to privatization.

Abstract

This paper presents an update to the report on the Observance of Standards and Codes on Banking Supervision, Payment Systems, and Securities Regulation for Croatia. The 2001 Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP) mission assessed Croatia’s compliance with the Basel Core Principles for Effective Banking Supervision (BCP). The results suggested that most of the core principles were either observed or broadly observed, the main exception being cooperation with foreign supervisory agencies, which was not possible under the then-existing legal framework.

Abstract

In this study, the economic stability of Croatia is overviewed after the global crisis. The reforms outlined in the government’s economic recovery program (ERP) are in progress. Judicial reforms are instituted to strengthen bankruptcy procedures for companies. To improve the medium-term growth prospects of the economy, there is a need to tackle the structural rigidities. Executive Directors agreed that monetary policy should aim at gradually building up reserves in order to increase Croatia’s resilience to external vulnerabilities, while exercising caution toward shifts.

Abstract

This paper mainly examines fiscal decentralization, credit-loss recovery, and unemployment in Croatia. The degree of expenditure and revenue decentralization in Croatia appears limited relative to its peers. At about 16 percent of general government spending, subnational government spending in Croatia is modest compared to other southeastern European countries and to the EU-28 average, and particularly low compared to the most decentralized countries in the EU. Croatia’s recovery since late 2014 has been moderate. Croatia’s recession lasted six years and was thus the longest among the new EU member states. Croatia’s structural and cyclical unemployment rates are very high, at about 11.5 percent and 5 percent respectively in 2015.
