Experts Club Information and Analytical Center has analyzed the inflation rate and its trends in Croatia in recent years. In 2025, inflation in Croatia shows a downward trend after the peak values of previous years. According to Eurostat, in March 2025, annual inflation amounted to 3.2%, down from 3.7% in February and 5.0% in January .
The decline in inflation is due to several factors.
Stabilization of energy prices: after sharp fluctuations in previous years, energy prices have started to stabilize, which has reduced pressure on the overall price level.
Moderate increase in food prices: despite the continuing impact on inflation, the rate of increase in food prices has slowed down.
Slowdown in service price increases: the services sector has seen a reduction in inflationary pressures, which has also contributed to the overall decline in inflation.
According to the European Commission’s forecasts, inflation is expected to fall further to 2.9% in 2025 and 2.2% in 2026.
To understand current trends, it is important to look at Croatia’s inflation rate in recent years.
2021: 2.7%
2022: 10.7%
2023: 8.4%
2024: 4,0%
These data suggest that after a significant increase in inflation in 2022, associated with global economic turmoil, Croatia is gradually returning to a more moderate rate of price growth .
