Croatians second in the region by wealth
EMonline
In 2009 Croatians will have EUR 10,074 of financial wealth per capita.
In 2009 Croatians will have EUR 10,074 of financial wealth per capita, which puts them in the second place in the CEE region, which includes Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia and Turkey.
According to the analysis by UniCredit and Bank Austria Creditanstalt, the financial wealth of Croatian households will exceed the national GDP by as much as 5 percent in two years.
Slovenians are safely the first, with the financial wealth of EUR 18,054 per capita in 2009. Croatia is also ranked fourth in the region by indebtedness. With the slower tempo of borrowing, it could have the debt of EUR 4,668 per capita in 2009, which is less than in Estonia, Latvia and Slovenia.
According to the analysis, cash and deposits will remain the main type of investment, although their share is gradually reducing. (www.business.hr)

That's what happens when you have a service run economy. The money accrues only through foreigners. What the Croatian government should focus on is discovering wealth somewhere else that is not tourism. Prosperity will follow after the abolishment of a monoculture.

What the Croatian government should focus on is discovering wealth somewhere else that is not tourism. Prosperity will follow after the abolishment of a monoculture. but thats the problem, we got a bunch of dud entrepreneur businessmen and politicians in croatia who are incompetant fools. everysingle croatian owned bank went bankrupt, and now foreign companies run all the banks in croatia. croatian telecom was running at losses, and they tried to sell it to other croatian businessessmen, but no one wanted to buy it, for the simple fact that nobody knows how to run the business. they sold the croatian telecom to german telecom, and they made more money in croatia than they did in germany. you see that croatia could be in alot better position than it is now, but the problem is that we got dumb politicians running our country, and dumb businessmen who cant run businesses efficiently to make profits. we need more intellectual people in croatia, more university educated people who know economics and business knowhow.

People right now are just a little greedy (With the fall of communism 15 years ago and such). Wait another 5-6 years, things will pick up, and people will start being responsible.

Croatians second in the region by wealth Slovenians are safely the first because croatian families arent having children, and slovenians are even worse. they have a bit of extra money coz croatian families are only having one or two kids per family. nothing to be proud of. why cant croats have more kids? my parents had 6 children, including myself. i have 3 brothers and two sisters. i come from a working class family like most croats, and my parents managed to have 6 children, so i dont see why croatian families cant have atleast 3 children per family. anything less than 3 children is shameful. croats are supposed to be a proud catholic nation with strong family values, but they dont bear enough children. i think its our duty to god to be plentiful in offspring.

^ Strong message, but I agree with it. I think it's the women these days, and their "waiting to be ready" and their "careers". Jebiga, it catches up to a population haha.
... Just waiting to see a reaction to this. I'm probably going to get sacked for saying that lol.

^^^Omg it's funny when I heard young people especially men in the diaspora thinking like this 100 year behind mentality. The 1 cause for people to wait or to have few children is money (sad but true) The 2 cause is that people are just too busy with their careers and other interests that they wait to have children (getting a career usually means they can have money they need to then rear these children). So then it goes back to MONEY. Many women have wasted their lives by marrying too young and rearing at a young age, we have seen it all too often especially from tradional backgrounds. It should be about choice; if you wish to have children or not, and whether you want 1, 2, or 10 kids should be your choice not someone elses. All too often women are critisised for this; and I hate seeing that, what we need is support not negativity. If we want to see an economy propser in the present moment; we can't all be having 6 children and waiting for them to contribute to society 30 years down the track.

LOL! It's how all men think. See Careers is what delays the whole thing... and by the time you're 45, you don't want kids. Wasting their lives? By raising children? I think that's a very admirable thing to do. Being a mother is the biggest influence in a persons life. I think people should get a liscence to have children. For real. Well, maybe it will change in the future when the economy gets more and more stable. It is actually balancing from the -0.035% growth to a 0.0%. SO... eventually, it will all be good. It's all how nature takes its course.

Gee if that's the case, no marriage or kids for me.
No I'm not saying it's a waste to have children, far from it. It is a great and admirable thing, what I said was too many wasted their young lives by marrying too young. They could have experienced more and ALSO had a family later in life and possibly with a more suitable partner.
Oh yeah I'd love to see how one would pass a licence to have children! There is no way you can test this..having children is a myriad of suprises that cannot be tested or trialled.

Haha, you're missing out... really... you are.
True say.
Actually, if they can have licencing for pets, why not for kids. People who are not in a good mental state, or not in a good financial state, etc etc. But that would be inhuman.

^ As I said, it is inhuman. But some parents really don't deserve to have children if they abuse them and don't appreciate them for who the kid is, right?

^ Abuse? Dude I understand if you mother needs to hit u to straighten you out, but I'm sure that 90% of the worlds children were not sexually molested, or starved, or whatever. You know what I'm getting at?

I'm talking more mental abuse which I think in some cases is much worse for a person's confidence later in life.
