ZAGREB, 19 January (Hina) – The change of power in the U.S. could additionally boost Croatia-United States economic relations and for now the priority is to resolve double taxation and visas for Croatian citizens, the Croatian Chamber of Commerce (HGK) said on Tuesday.
Croatian export to the U.S. has been growing solidly and constantly, with trade totalling $649 million in 2019, including $461 million worth of Croatian exports, up 14% on 2018. In the first nine months of 2020, Croatian exports reached $370 million.
The HGK’s vice president for international affairs, Ivan Barbarić, said he was confident the Joe Biden administration would change the current course and return to economic globalisation, cooperation with international organisations and possible joining of new or old trade treaties.
