Croatia's government revenue has exhibited a fluctuating trend over the past three decades, with the latest figure standing at 45.97% of GDP in 2025. This value ranks the country 23rd globally, according to the IMF World Economic Outlook. The country's revenue peaked at 50.44% of GDP in 1998, exceeding 1992's trough of 31.41%. A comparison with peer countries shows that Croatia's revenue remains below that of Italy, which has a government revenue of 47.38% of GDP. The revenue trend has been influenced by Croatia's economic transition from a socialist to a market-based economy, which began in the early 1990s. The country's revenue has generally increased since then, albeit with fluctuations due to various economic shocks and global events. To maintain its revenue trajectory, Croatia will need to continue to implement policies that promote economic growth, such as investing in human capital and encouraging foreign investment, to ensure that its government revenue remains stable and competitive.
