OECD Investment Policy Reviews: Croatia 2019
This review was prepared in response to Croatia's 2015 request to adhere to the Declaration on International Investment and Multinational Enterprises. It assesses the climate for domestic and foreign investment in Croatia, its ability to comply with the principles of openness, transparency and non-discrimination and its policy convergence with the OECD Declaration, including responsible business conduct practices, and discusses the challenges and opportunities faced by the government of Croatia in its reform efforts. Capitalising on the OECD Policy Framework for Investment, this review includes chapters on foreign investment trends and performance, foreign investor entry and operations, the legal and institutional framework for investment protection, investment promotion and facilitation, public governance, and policies to promote and enable responsible business conduct.
Promoting and enabling responsible business conduct as a strategic choice
Responsible business conduct (RBC) is an important part of the investment climate and is increasingly integrated within policies aimed at attracting quality investment and enhancing sustainable development. In line with global trends, RBC has also emerged as an important topic in Croatia. This chapter provides an overview of the RBC landscape in Croatia and Croatia’s plans for its National Contact Point for the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises.
