Trade between Great Britain and Croatia in the first nine months of
2001 amounted to USD214 million, with Croatian exports accounting
for a modest USD50 million.
The biggest British investment in Croatia, worth almost 800 million
German marks, was made by the Ready Mixed Group, which invested most
funds into Dalmacijacement, Ytong Pula and Readymix Zagreb
companies.
The shipyard Viktor Lenac has successfully overhauled ships for the
James Fischer&Sons company, and is now looking for a global
strategic partner for big projects. Tourism, it was said at the
meeting, is surely an important area of cooperation. British
arrivals in 2001 accounted for only 20 percent of visits in previous
years.
