Adria Region Macro Quarterly 2Q 2024 - Solid growth rates labour dependant
In general, the Adria region countries showed resilience during current global recessionary wave.

Aside from solid domestic demand, investments are contributing positively due to solid infrastructure projects within the region and growth in building construction activity.
