• At the Prsten Association business forum, it was stated that pension funds could invest more strongly in the Croatian economy, but projects must be investment-justified and professionally prepared.
  • Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Tomislav Ćorić said pension funds are not underutilized capital, but they need more investment opportunities.
  • Ćorić believes pension funds should seek investment opportunities abroad, citing Scandinavian funds as an example, because Croatia’s economy is too small to absorb hundreds of millions of new ‘cash’.
  • The minister dismissed the idea of pension funds investing in railway infrastructure, such as the lowland line to the port of Rijeka, as such projects cannot provide the necessary returns.
