In the context of the pandemic, epidemiological measures and recommendations for the prevention of the spread of the COVID-19 disease did not significantly affect industrial production of the Republic of Croatia in March 2022. The working-day adjusted industrial production in March 2022 decreased by 1.9% compared to March 2021. Compared to February 2022, the total seasonally and working-day adjusted industrial production decreased by 2.6%.
Observing the annual growth rates according to the Main Industrial Groupings (MIGs 2009), industrial production decreased in four out of five aggregates.
