Croatia: Exports as a capacity to import (constant LCU)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2025, Croatia's exports as a capacity to import (constant LCU) rose 1.6% on 2024 (from 36.95 billion to 37.54 billion).

Across the 29 yearly changes before that (1996 to 2024), the average change was +6.1% and a typical year strayed about 9.7% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.5 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 29.9% in 2021 and the biggest yearly fall was 24.4% in 2020. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2016 to 2025 the straight-line trend is upward, about 1.55 billion a year. A straight line explains 73% of the movement over 10 observed years.
