ZAGREB, Sept 11 (Hina) - Croatia's entrepreneurs made 135.5 billion kuna ($15.94 billion) in income earnings in this year's first six months, a 11.7 percent increase against the first half of 1999, while total expenditure rose by nine
percent, to 133.8 billion ($15.75 billion), the Bureau for Payment Transactions (ZAP) said on Monday.

ZAP says even better financial results may be expected in this year's second half in the wake of the successful summer tourist season and tourism's effect on other branches.(hina) ha
