About Croatia's National Debt
Croatia adopted the euro in 2023; its debt ratio has fallen substantially from the peak that followed the global financial crisis, helped by a strong tourism-driven recovery.
Croatia's debt-to-GDP ratio of 56% is moderate: higher than 52% of the 135 governments tracked here. No ratio is safe or dangerous on its own — whether a debt is sustainable depends on the interest rate on it, how fast the economy grows, the currency it is owed in and who holds it. By total government debt, Croatia ranks 70th of the 135 governments tracked here.
At the current borrowing rate of $196 per second, Croatia adds about $17 million to its government debt every day — roughly $6.2 billion per year. Each of Croatia's 4 million residents carries an individual share of approximately $16,533. That is above the world average of roughly $14,600 in government debt per person.
