Croatia’s GDP growth slowed down in the first quarter of 2023, although the mild and late winter supported construction activity and reduced the drag from high energy prices, moderating the slowdown. The World Bank expects Croatia's economy to grow by 1.9% in 2023, up 1.1 % compared to the bank's previous prediction made in January. According to the Croatian National Bank in the first five months 2023, inflation slowed down continuously, reaching 7.9% in May 2023.
