The 2002 Financial Stability Assessment Program (FSAP) found that the Croatian financial system was resilient, but vulnerabilities remain. The authorities have been proactive in addressing macroeconomic and financial vulnerabilities associated with rapid credit growth and have also taken prudential measures on contingency planning with supervisory authorities of foreign banks coupled with efforts to enhance risk awareness and strengthen home-host coordination. The Croatian National Bank (CNB) has put in place an effective bank supervision framework. The assessment reflected a legal and regulatory framework together with banking supervision practices of the Croatian authorities.

To address external vulnerabilities and reduce the burden of the large government on economic growth, Executive Directors recommended more ambitious fiscal consolidation than the authorities’ medium-term plans currently envisage. They stressed the urgency of restructuring the loss-making shipyards and removing impediments to privatization.

This paper presents an update to the report on the Observance of Standards and Codes on Banking Supervision, Payment Systems, and Securities Regulation for Croatia. The 2001 Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP) mission assessed Croatia’s compliance with the Basel Core Principles for Effective Banking Supervision (BCP). The results suggested that most of the core principles were either observed or broadly observed, the main exception being cooperation with foreign supervisory agencies, which was not possible under the then-existing legal framework.
