The Croatian Language

Croatian is the national official language of Croatia, as well as one of the official languages of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, and the EU.

The South Slavic language is primarily spoken by Croats, with an estimated 5.5 million speakers worldwide. As a member of the Indo-European language family, Croatian shares linguistic similarities with other Slavic languages such as Russian, Polish, and Czech. However, it also has its unique features and characteristics.

The Economy of Croatia

Croatia's economy is a highly developed social market economy, ranking among the largest in Southeast Europe by nominal gross domestic product (GDP).

As an open economy with a welcoming foreign policy, the European nation heavily relies on international trade. While economic development varies across Croatia, with the strongest growth concentrated in Central Croatia and its financial hub, Zagreb, the country boasts a very high human development index, low levels of wealth inequality, and a high standard of living.

In the 20th century, Croatia transitioned from a planned economy under socialism in 1941 to a command economy under communism during World War II. As a modern state, Croatia has since embraced social capitalism, aided by ongoing European integration and globalization.

As a member of the European Union, Eurozone, and Schengen Area, Croatia uses the Euro as its official currency. It also maintains free-trade agreements with numerous countries and is a part of the World Trade Organization (2000) and the European Economic Area (2013).

US-Croatian Trade: The Growing Partnership

The United States and Croatia enjoy a strong and growing trade relationship.

Croatia is a member of the European Union, which fosters a significant level of economic exchange between the US and Croatia. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, bilateral trade has been steadily increasing, with the US exporting billions of dollars in goods and services to Croatia annually.

US exports to Croatia are primarily focused on areas like energy (particularly liquefied natural gas), machinery, and transportation equipment. Croatia, on the other hand, exports pharmaceuticals, electrical components, and agricultural products to the US.

This growing trade partnership presents exciting opportunities for both countries. American companies can leverage Croatia's strategic location in Southeast Europe and its access to the wider European market. Conversely, Croatian businesses have a gateway to reach the vast American market.
