Sažetak
The aim of this paper is to provide a detailed analysis of Croatian inward FDI, its structure, and its impact on the domestic economy, especially in the manufacturing sector. According to FDI per capita or FDI/GDP percentage, Croatia ranks rather high among transition economies, even in comparison with those that have recently becoe full members of the EU. Nevertheless, its impact on the overall economy, especially employment, exports, and productivity, is much less evident than that in other Central European economies. In those countries, FDI companies have been playing a major role in productivity growth, exports and job creation. More importantly, it ensured spillover effects into other sectors of the economy, stimulating productivity and competitveness as a whole. This paper aims to help Croatia produce an investment promotion strategy that it still lacks.
