Furthermore, for the period from 2000 to 2022, data for GDP per capita according to purchasing power standards (PPS) have been revised due to the revision of Eurostat’s data, as well as the data on population (except for 2000), which are calculated according to the national accounts methodology.

Regional GDP is an indicator of a region’s output and can therefore be used for measuring and comparing the degree of economic activity of different regions. The regional GDP is not a measure of regional wellbeing or regional income.

The GDP data for the Republic of Croatia at the level of the HR_NUTS 2021 – HR NUTS 2 and at the level of counties are based on the final annual GDP data.

NOTES ON METHODOLOGY

The purpose of the statistical survey

The purpose of the statistical survey is to estimate the gross value added (GVA) and the gross domestic product (GDP) for the Republic of Croatia as well as at the level of the HR_NUTS 2021 – HR NUTS 2 and at the level of counties.

Sources and methods of data collection

Data sources for the calculation of GVA and GDP are the national accounts data, annual business statistics surveys, economic accounts for agriculture, annual data on persons in employment and earnings, annual data of the Croatian Institute for Pension Insurance on the number of insured persons and various other statistical data.

Coverage

The calculation covers all activities following the concepts of the System of National Accounts (SNA 2008) and the European System of National and Regional Accounts (ESA 2010).

Definitions

Regional accounts are a subsystem of national accounts in which the Republic of Croatia, units at the level of the HR_NUTS 2021 – HR NUTS 2 and at the level of counties are the main objects of observation. The concepts used in the regional accounts are the same as those used in the national accounts.

GDP at market prices is the sum of values added by activities, including items at the level of the national economy that are not classified by activities, such as taxes on products less subsidies on products.

Other explanations

GVA and GDP for the Republic of Croatia, at the level of the HR_NUTS 2021 – HR NUTS 2 and at the level of counties are calculated by using the indirect method. The national GVA figures by activities were allocated at the level of the HR_NUTS 2021 – HR NUTS 2 and at the level of counties by applying adequate distribution keys.

GDP per capita according to purchasing power standards (PPS) is an indicator that measures the economic development of EU's regions as a percentage of the EU average (EU-27 = 100). It shows how much a region is more or less developed than the average EU development or the general level of economic development of a particular region. It is expressed according to the purchasing power standard, which is an artificial currency unit that eliminates the differences between price levels between countries.
