Comparison of determinants of export competitivness of Croatia in relation to chosen countries in the environment

This paper analyses facts connected to the export-competitiveness of Croatia in context of chosen countries in the environment, to evaluate the relative aspect of Croatian production aiming on export. The countries for comparison are chosen by key of experience in socialistic, planned economy and relatively late access to the European Union. In the analysis data is used from the period before the crisis which began in 2008, on incoming foreign investments, size of labour cost, movement of productivity of labour-force and importance of European Union market in the structure of export. By size of incoming foreign investments and especially by size of labour cost and growth of productivity rate and their correlation, Croatia is among the chosen countries in the most unfavourable position to realize growth of production meant for export. Decrease of share of export to developed markets of European Union countries from the year 2000 until now witness on the inadequate export- structure and on its increasing mismatch wit import demand of EU countries, opposite to the scenario favourable for Croatia.
