QUARTERLY GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT, REVISED DATA BY QUARTERS, 2022

To achieve consistency among national accounts data, the updated version of data on taxes, subsidies and government consumption expenditure is included in this quarterly calculation of the gross domestic product (GDP).

According to the revision policy of national accounts and government finance statistics / excessive deficit procedure statistics, if significant changes occur in the calculation of data within the April notification, the Croatian Bureau of Statistics is obliged to ensure consistency between data and publish the revised GDP data, thus also ensuring consistency in quarterly sector accounts.

The revised data refer to the period from the first quarter of 2019 to the fourth quarter of 2022. The largest changes occurred in 2022; therefore, the revised quarters for 2022 are published.

Detailed data can be downloaded on the link Statistics in Line.

The first estimate shows that GDP in real terms increased by 6.2% in 2022, as compared to 2021.
