5 Croatia 1 Highlights Among transition economies, Croatia is a significant host for foreign direct investment (FDI) when compared to the size of its economy: at the end of 2011, inward FDI stock amounted to 23.9 billion ($33 billion), equivalent to 48 per cent of Croatian GDP. Before the onset of the financial and economic crisis, Croatia made significant progress in attracting FDI, resulting in an increase in inflows from 79 million ($105 million) in 1995 to 4.2 billion ($6.2 billion) in The surge in FDI to the country, especially after 2000, was driven largely by the economic recovery, a better investment climate and the start of accession negotiations with the European Union (EU) in The positive trend was reversed in 2009 with FDI inflows falling sharply by 42 per cent in 2009 and 88 per cent in FDI inflows picked up again in 2011 reaching 1.1 billion ($1.5 billion). FDI outflows have been modest, reaching 32 million ($44 million) in The financial industry is the largest FDI target, accounting for 37 per cent of inward FDI stock at the end of The importance of the services sector as a whole in inward FDI stock grew from 63 per cent in 2000 to 76 per cent at the end of 2011, at the expense of the manufacturing sector, which declined from 36 per cent in 2000 to 21 per cent in EU countries are the main home for FDI in Croatia, accounting for 91 per cent of inward FDI stock at the end of Austria was the largest investor in 2011 (29 per cent), followed by Germany (14 per cent) and the Netherlands (10 per cent). In 2009, foreign affiliates in Croatia employed 12,800 people and generated sales of 38 billon ($53.9 billion). A. Definitions and sources of data Data on FDI in Croatia are compiled and reported by the Croatian National Bank (CNB) within the balance of payments framework. Reported data are compiled in accordance with the guidelines set out in the fifth edition of IMF's Balance of Payments Manual. Separately identifiable quarterly and yearly data are compiled on the components of direct investment income and the components of direct investment financial flows. While the data are preliminary when first released, they are revised each quarter to take account of revisions to the sample survey and are disseminated quarterly together with the preliminary data for the latest quarter. The data are considered to be final 9 months after their first release. The basic criterion for defining direct investment enterprises in Croatia is 10 percent ownership by a non-resident investor, regardless of whether the investor has an effective voice in management that is, enterprises in which the non-resident direct investor owns 10 percent or more but does not have an effective voice in management are included, while enterprises in which the non-resident investor owns less than 10 percent but has an effective voice in management are not included. FDI data are collected using a mixture of an individual transactions basis and an aggregate basis the data for equity capital, dividends, and reinvested earnings are collected on an aggregate basis, while the data on other capital and income on debt are collected on an individual transactions basis. The data for dividends, reinvested earnings, and equity capital are compiled from quarterly enterprise surveys of resident enterprises. The data for income on debt (interest) and other capital are compiled from a debt register. A business register of enterprises involved in direct investment is used to compile the inward direct investment transactions data. The register is maintained by CNB and is updated on an ongoing basis using information from (i) registers maintained by

6 Croatia 2 government licensing and regulatory authorities, industry associations, and other departments within the CNB, (ii) a debt register, (iii) the financial press, and (iv) the Central Depository Agency. The same business register is used to compile the inward direct investment position data, as well as the outward direct investment transactions and position data. Quarterly data showing breakdowns by country for the direct investment financial flows data are compiled by the CNB and disseminated quarterly with a timeliness of 3 months after the end of the reference period on the CNB website The debtor/creditor principle is used as the basis for the geographic allocation of the data. Quarterly data showing breakdowns by industrial activity for direct investment financial flows are compiled by the CNB and are disseminated quarterly with a timeliness of 3 months after the end of the reference period on the CNB website No major sectors of the economy or elements within those economic sectors are excluded from the data. The data show a breakdown for 503 industrial activities. The classification used is the 4-digit level of the National Classification of Activities, which broadly corresponds to the nine major divisions of the United Nations International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities (ISIC). The data on both direct investment income and direct investment financial flows are classified on the basis of the industrial activity of the resident direct investment enterprises. The data on dividends and distributed branch profits cover incorporated and unincorporated enterprises. Contrary to the international standards, (i) dividends and distributed branch profits are recorded net, rather than gross, of any withholding taxes, and (ii) dividends and distributed branch profits are recorded on the date they are declared payable. In accordance with the international standards, (i) the data include transactions between nonfinancial direct investment enterprises and affiliated financial intermediaries, including special purpose entities (SPEs) primarily engaged in financial intermediation for a group of related enterprises, and (ii) there are no differences between the treatment of affiliated financial auxiliaries (such as security dealers) and other affiliated financial intermediaries and affiliated banks. The data on reinvested earnings and undistributed branch profits cover incorporated and unincorporated enterprises. In accordance with the international standards, (i) when a direct investment enterprise makes a net loss, that net loss is recorded as negative reinvested earnings, (ii) the data include reinvested earnings and undistributed branch profits between nonfinancial direct investment enterprises and affiliated financial intermediaries, including SPEs primarily engaged in financial intermediation for a group of related enterprises, and (iii) there are no differences between the treatment of affiliated financial auxiliaries (such as security dealers) and other affiliated financial intermediaries and affiliated banks. The equity capital transactions data cover (i) listed voting stocks (shares), (ii) unlisted voting stocks (shares), (iii) participating preference shares, and (iv) noncash acquisitions of equity, such as through the provision of capital equipment. The data do not cover other non-voting stocks (shares). In accordance with the international standards, (i) the data include equity transactions between affiliated banks and between affiliated financial intermediaries, (ii) the data include equity transactions between nonfinancial direct investment enterprises and affiliated financial intermediaries, including SPEs primarily engaged in financial intermediation for a group of related enterprises, and (iii) there are no differences between the treatment of affiliated financial auxiliaries (such as security dealers) and the treatment of other affiliated financial intermediaries and affiliated banks. The other capital transactions data cover: (i) long-term loans, (ii) short-term loans, (iii) bonds and money market instruments, (iv) long-term trade credits, and (v) financial leases. The data do not include short-term

7 Croatia 3 trade credits, which are instead classified under Other Investment in the balance of payments statistics. Data exclude (i) financial derivatives, (ii) loan/debt guarantees provided by direct investors or related direct investment enterprises, (iii) changes in insurance company technical reserves, and (iv) transactions between affiliated banks and between affiliated financial intermediaries involving deposits, loans, and other claims and liabilities related to usual banking and financial intermediation activities. Data on the operations of foreign affiliates are also collected by the CNB. Published data refers to the activities of Croatian TNCs foreign affiliates abroad (outward FATS). The Croatian Bureau of Statistics (CBS) compiles inward FATS data. The equity capital data include purchases and sales of land and buildings in Croatia made by non-resident enterprises, as well as directly by non-resident individuals. Expenditure related to natural resources exploration in Croatia by non-residents is included in the equity capital data. Although the data are included only if the expenditure is undertaken by a resident legal entity, this is considered to always be the case.
