The government is taking many stimulating measures and is working
on the enhancement of legislation pertaining to investment and
employment, she added.
A series of positive trends such as a 4.2 percent rise in Gross
Domestic Product and a six percent increase in industrial
production by the end of this year, as well as the settlement of a
debt worth nine billion kuna or a steady fall in interest rates
reflect our gradual exit from recession, Antunovic said conceding
that, however, all of this was still not enough.
