The impact of the coronavirus epidemic on business operations has been felt by 80% of domestic companies, which is an increase of 13 percentage points in just 16 days, the Croatian Chamber of Commerce (HGK) said on March 17, citing its latest survey.
Almost 60% of companies said that they have so far recorded losses of up to HRK 500,000, which is an increase of 5 percentage points compared to the previous survey, and if the situation continues, 11% of them expect losses of more than HRK 1 million, writes Poslovni dnevnik.
"Tourism, agriculture and transport continue to be the most affected sectors and as a result of the decision to cancel all large gatherings, the arts, entertainment and recreation are now among the most jeopardised activities," HGK president Luka Burilović said.
