Economic and Business Impact of Crisis on Croatian Trade

Like in other CEE countries, Croatian retail sector copes with: a) negative (post)communist heritage (ruined communist “retail giants”), and b) inevitable processes of internationalization and concentration. Larger retail formats, as well as new stakeholders and processes in competitive retail arena led to new realities analyzed in this paper. Beside intensive retail market concentration, negative trends, decreased share in GDP and cuts in number of employees are some of the most important challenges for the Croatian economy in general. This paper also provides some of the key data related to the structure of retail offers and indicators relevant for shopping center industry in Croatia.
