Abstract
Croatia needs to find new sources of
economic growth to attain income convergence with the EU;
this was true before the onset of the coronavirus disease
2019 Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, and it is an even more
urgent challenge now. Improvements in freight logistics,
which permeate the tradeable economy and domestic commerce,
can become a catalyst of productivity growth, business
resilience, and environmentally sustainable economic
expansion for Croatia. Efficient logistics facilitate trade
by improving access to markets through connectivity
improvements and cost competitiveness. This report takes
stock of Croatia’s logistics sector at the national level.
It aims to describe the sector’s supply-demand composition,
identify challenges and opportunities to improve sectoral
performance, and recommend public policy measures to address
these challenges and meet the opportunities at hand.
