On January 10, 2018, the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) concluded the Article IV consultation  [1]  with the Republic of Croatia.

  In 2017, Croatia continued its third year of positive economic growth supported by strong tourism and private consumption, trade partner growth, and improved confidence. Growth is expected to stay at similar levels in the near future but to decelerate over the medium term. Consumer prices increased at a moderate pace and wage growth was also moderate as unemployment remained high. The external current account is expected to record another strong surplus, underpinned by robust performance of exports and tourism and lower repatriation of profits as banks absorbed losses from Agrokor. The balance of risks has improved but vulnerabilities remain sizable as public and external debt levels are still high and the full impact of the Agrokor restructuring is yet unknown.
