Ten years after becoming a member of the European Union, as of 1 January 2023, Croatia will become a member of the euro area – the single monetary area of the second strongest currency in the world. The euro is going to become Croatian money - our money. By introducing the euro, Croatia will have fulfilled the strategic goal that gives full meaning to our membership in the European Union - the euro is coming to us for a better and safer life for our citizens, for Croatian economic growth.
