Croatia's foreign reserves stood at $-1.9B in 2025, a decline of +$5.3B from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $-1.9B by 2025. Croatia ranked 167th globally.
Croatia's foreign reserves have exhibited significant fluctuations over the past 34 years. Starting from 166.8 million in 1992, the country's reserves surged to an all-time peak of 29.7 billion in 2022, a substantial increase that reflected a period of economic growth and stability. Conversely, the latest figure of -1.93 billion in 2025 indicates a sharp decline, placing Croatia at rank 167 globally. This trend is comparable to that of South Sudan, which ranks 165 with reserves of -65.5 billion. Croatia's foreign reserves have thus spanned a vast range, underscoring the country's susceptibility to economic shocks and exchange rate volatility. The decline may be attributed to factors such as a weakening currency, trade deficits, or capital outflows. A stabilization of the country's economy and currency is crucial for reversing this trend, with a potential shift towards a more robust fiscal policy and strategic investment in foreign exchange reserves.
