Sažetak
The phenomenon of the corruption has been, so far, observed through its penal aspect, although lately more authors researched its effects to certain national economies, but such researches are still insufficient, especially in Croatia. We have conducted our research of the corruption and its economic consequences in Croatia, during last 20 years, under its specific circumstances, in a mature phase of the transition of the Croatian economy. In our article we have set the goal to research the connection and influence of the corruption to the important economic indicators, such as government net lending/borrowing, unemployment, current account balance, etc. Basic hypothesis of the conducted research was that the higher corruption rate in Croatia has worsened the above- mentioned macroeconomic indicators, and that stronger social efforts are necessary in its suppression. Thorough analysis of the available data, their statistic processing and testing of the set basic hypothesis, have brought us to the conclusion that the higher level of the corruption has a negative effect on net lending/borrowing, and at the same time it increases unemployment and negative current account balance, and other macroeconomic indicators. The reform of the institutional form of the suppression of the corruption in Croatia, as well as changes of the legislative frame, have led to certain positive movements in the revealing of the corruptive activities, but it is still significantly present. We can also still notice positive movements on the suppression of the corruption in 5 counties in Slavonia, whereas the most of the corruptive actions were disclosed in Osijek-Baranya and Vukovar-Srijem County. The structure of the disclosed corruptive actions shows insufficient number of submitted reports for bribery, caused by difficulties in obtaining of the relevant evidence. Suppression of the corruption in Croatia is especially important in order to make easier achievement of certain macroeconomic goals.
