Croatia: GDP (current US$)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2025, Croatia's GDP (current US$) rose 13% on 2024 (from US$92.98 billion to US$105.06 billion).

Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +7% and a typical year strayed about 13.5% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.4 standard deviations above 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 51.2% in 1995 and the biggest yearly fall was 43.4% in 1992. 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 US$5.39 billion a year. A straight line explains 87% of the movement over 10 observed years.

What this measures

Gross domestic product is the total income earned through the production of goods and services in an economic territory during an accounting period. It can be measured in three different ways: using either the expenditure approach, the income approach, or the production approach. This indicator is expressed in current prices, meaning no adjustment has been made to account for price changes over time. This indicator is expressed in United States dollars.

Limitations: Gross domestic product (GDP), though widely tracked, may not always be the most relevant summary of aggregated economic performance for all economies, especially when production occurs at the expense of consuming capital stock. While GDP estimates based on the production approach are generally more reliable than estimates compiled from the income or expenditure side, different countries use different definitions, methods, and reporting standards. World Bank staff review the quality of national accounts data and sometimes make adjustments to improve consistency with international guidelines. Nevertheless, significant discrepancies remain between international standards and actual practice.

Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a gap-filled total.
