Croatia’s Ministry of Finance published an update from the Croatia–Slovenia forum “Capital Markets 2025: Financing Sustainability”, where Finance Minister Marko Primorac reiterated that developing the capital market is a government strategic priority and positioned it as a funding source for companies and an investment channel for households. The ministry pointed to 16 issuances of retail government securities over the past two years, mobilising more than EUR 4.4bn of household savings, supported by the e-Riznica and m-Riznica digital investment platforms. It also referenced the government’s adoption of the Strategic Framework for Capital Market Development 2025–2030 and the first Action Plan 2025–2026, covering digitalisation, strengthening liquidity, improving corporate governance and regional connectivity, with the objective of achieving emerging market status for Croatia’s capital market. Regional work was framed through an initiative involving eight central and south-eastern European countries, including Croatia and Slovenia, aimed at linking markets and increasing their attractiveness to international investors. The Strategic Framework spans 2025–2030, with the initial Action Plan covering 2025–2026.
