Croatia's economic developments from 2013. to 2019. were characterized by many negative effects that had an impact on the macroeconomic situation, but ultimately on the living standards of citizens. Negative developments in the economy have been partially reduced in the last three years, and at the beginning of 2015, there was a significant increase in gross domestic product compared to the previous year. However, the economic situation is still not at the desired level, ie no recovery of the economic situation in the country has been recorded. The paper is divided into several chapters. The second chapter defines the concept of economic analysis, the publication of types of economic analysis with an emphasis on microanalysis and macroanalysis. Then follows a chapter on macroeconomics. This chapter defines the emergence of macroeconomics, the methodology of macroeconomics and macroeconomic indicators: savings, investment and wealth, unemployment rate, inflation rate and interest rate. Chapter four defines economic policies: monetary and fiscal policies, as well as means and objectives. Chapter 5 deals with gross domestic product (GDP), with an emphasis on GDP history, disposable and national incomes, nominal and real GDP, and GDP components.
