Producer prices in Croatia increased by 3.2% year-on-year in March 2026 from 0.9% in the previous month, marking the highest reading since April 2023.

Meanwhile, the decline in mining and quarrying moderated, easing to -15.0% from -22.1%, driven in part by a smaller contraction in the extraction of crude petroleum and natural gas (-33.9% vs -44.1%).
