About Croatia

 

   

The markets are volatile and financial resources for business and government are scarce. Following a substantial contraction in GDP, weakness in economic activity is expected to persist over the coming quarters as the structural imbalances and financial market tensions continue. Rapid changes in business, government and social environment cause extensive restructuring of national economies. However, the history has shown that crises produce challenges and opportunities. The downturn creates broad opportunities for winners and losers just like the boom.

 

Managing crises requires commitment, knowledge and skills how to handle problems successfully at government and business levels.

 

As the gap between crisis and prosperity is wide, so is the range of our Conference topics:
