Croatia’s trade deficit narrowed to EUR 1.71 billion in June 2026 from EUR 1.81 billion a year earlier.
Exports rose by 7.7% year-on-year to EUR 2.26 billion, while imports increased by 1.9% to EUR 3.98 billion.
In the first half of 2026, the trade gap decreased to EUR 10.31 billion from EUR 10.42 billion in the corresponding period of the previous year.
During this period, exports grew by 10.8% to EUR 13.70 billion, lifted by stronger shipments to both EU countries (14.1%) and non-EU markets (3.9%).
Meanwhile, imports increased by 4.8% to EUR 23.89 billion, driven largely by higher purchases from both the EU (3.8%) and non-EU markets (8.4%).
