Following an annual growth of 4.3% in 2022, Croatia’s construction industry is expected to grow by 2.7% in 2023, reflecting an improvement in real estate activities. According to the Croatian Bureau of Statistics (CBS), the country’s construction value-add rose by 4.8% Year on Year (YoY) in the third quarter of 2023, this was preceded by YoY growth of 0.9% in Q2 and 4% in Q1 2023. In addition, the CBS reported that the total number of building permits issued in the country rose by 4.2% in the first ten months of 2023, preceded by an annual increase of 5.8% in 2022.
