Under the influence of globalization, new directions of economic development in Croatia have been opened and this is an important scientifc issue. There are numerous benefts of globalization and differences in speed and approach have often been driven by regional trends, policy opportunities and economic factors. Croatia has a continuous and constant development of globalization parameters measured according to the KOF globalization index with occasional turbulent periods that resulted in short-term declines in correlations. The Covid-19 pandemic has turned into a major disaster for the glob al economy and it is clear that the further development of global relations will take some new dimensions.
