2025 POLICY ISSUES

1. Recommendations for Tax Reform 2025

• AmCham continuously works on proposals for further tax relief aimed at attracting investment and increasing the competitiveness of Croatian employers in attracting and retaining the workforce. In 2025, measures will be proposed with the aim of achieving a more competitive tax system and consequently the entire Croatian economy.

2. Croatia as an investment hub

• Croatia’s geopolitical position and potential to become a regional transport and energy hub could be used to attract global companies to relocate some of their operations and productions. Especially if global trends such as nearshoring are considered. The goal is to provide multiple recommendations for changing the overall investment policy.

3. EU Pay Transparency Directive

• The Directive deals with the issue of applying the principle of equal pay for men and women for equal work or work of equal value. Transposition into Croatian legislation is planned for June 2026, but active involvement of the business community in this process is necessary.

During 2025, Trade and Investment Committee will closely monitor and timely react if deemed necessary on key topics that include:

• Investments
• Administrative and parafiscal unburdening
• Aliens Act
