The Primorje-Gorski Kotar County is one of the leaders in the inflow of foreign direct investment into the Republic of Croatia, whether it is cumulative amounts in EUR or value in EUR per inhabitant. Most of the investment was in financial services, real estate and building construction. Investments in plants and equipment, i.e. modernization of production and other systems and equipment, are also gradually increasing, as an important factor in maintaining competitiveness and catching up with more developed European regions.
