General:  Croatia's economy suffered badly during the 1991-95 Yugoslav civil war. Output collapsed, tourism ceased, and the country missed the period of investment in central and eastern Europe that followed the fall of the Berlin Wall. Between 2000 and 2007, however, the country's economic fortunes began slowly to improve, with moderate but steady GDP growth between 4% and 6%, led by the return of Adriatic tourism.  

The service sector dominates Croatia's economy, followed by the industrial sector and agriculture. Tourism is a significant source of revenue during the summer.

The European Union is Croatia's largest export market with Italy, Germany and Slovenia as the largest trading partners in 2017.
