      Economy - overview:

       Before the dissolution of Yugoslavia, the Republic of Croatia,

       after Slovenia, was the most prosperous and industrialized area,

       with a per capita output perhaps one-third above the Yugoslav

       average. The economy emerged from a mild recession in 2000 with

       tourism, banking, and public investments leading the way.

       Unemployment remains high, at over 13 percent, with structural

       factors slowing its decline. While macroeconomic stabilization has

       largely been achieved, structural reforms lag because of deep

       resistance on the part of the public and lack of strong support from

       politicians. Growth, while impressively over 4% for the last several

       years, has been achieved through high fiscal and current account

       deficits. The government is gradually reducing a heavy back log of

       civil cases, many involving land tenure. The EU accession process

       should accelerate fiscal and structural reform.
