Risk/Reward Index
Despite its accession to the EU, Croatia offers little growth over the long term. Croatia has a Risk/Reward Index (RRI) score of 42.9 out of 100, making it the 17th most attractive pharmaceutical market in Central and Eastern Europe. Croatia's RRI score in Q415 has not changed compared to Q315, but its score remains poor owing to the depreciation of the Croatian kuna against the dollar and our concerns over the country's economic outlook impacting our pharmaceutical sales forecasts.
Key Trends And Developments
In June 2015, the director of the HZZO, Tatjana Trupec, stated that upcoming proposed changes to Croatian healthcare legislation will enable the easier inclusion of new drugs to the positive reimbursement list.
In June 2015, the director of the HZZO also stated that upcoming reform will abolish the HZZO's policy of separating reimbursed medicines into a basic and supplementary list. Drugs on the supplementary list will be phased onto the basic list.
