| Summary: | Croatia’s business environment has been
identified as a priority area for reform by the Croatian
Government. Under the government working group for business
climate and private investments, the agency for investment
and competitiveness has been designated to lead the dialogue
with the private sector and coordinate the consultations
with stakeholders, including international organizations on
the design of a new wave of business environment reforms.
This reform memorandum is prepared at the request of the
agency for investment and competitiveness and aims to
provide a concrete set of short and medium term reform
recommendations that will address some of the business
environment challenges currently faced by the private sector
in Croatia. The World Bank Group’s doing business project
provides a measure of the ease of doing business in 189
countries through a set of objective indicators that focus
on the impact of laws, regulations, and their enforcement on
the ease of doing business for domestic firms in 10 areas
from starting a business, operations to insolvency. In the
area of the judiciary, the implementation of the reform of
the judicial map can improve the efficiency of some courts.
The reform aims to increase specialization and balance out
the uneven workload of judges by merging courts. This reform
memorandum highlights potential reform opportunities in the
areas covered by the doing business project that will allow
the government to have a direct impact on business
conditions by addressing some of these shortcomings through
legal, regulatory, or administrative reforms. |
