Meeting with the World Bank Delegation

The meeting focused on competitiveness and attracting private-sector investments in Croatia.

During a constructive discussion, potential areas for further investment development in Croatia were presented. AmCham's Executive Director, Andrea Doko Jelušić, highlighted areas where Croatia has made progress, particularly in tax unburdening through a series of tax reforms. However, there is still room for further tax relief.

AmCham also recognizes opportunities for improvement through better regulation, a more efficient judiciary, and digitalization, all of which could add further value to Croatia’s business environment.

Ms. Niang welcomed AmCham's advocacy. Participants agreed that key sectors with the most potential include transport with a focus on railways, green energy, IT services, and the pharmaceutical industry.

Representing AmCham, the attendees included the Chair of the Trade and Investment Committee, Hrvoje Jelić (PwC), Committee members Krešimir Lipovšćak (Crowe) and Vladimir Nol (Forvis Mazars), as well as AmCham’s Policy Director, Dražen Malbašić.
