In the context of the pandemic, epidemiological measures and recommendations for the prevention of the spread of the COVID-19 did not significantly affect industrial production of the Republic of Croatia in April 2022. The working-day adjusted industrial production in April 2022 decreased by 1.3% compared to April 2021. Compared to March 2022, the total seasonally and working-day adjusted industrial production decreased by 1.5%.
