The new issue of Lider brings a story featuring 18 well-known leaders who share their views on business and the world after the pandemic. They all agree that there is certainly no complete return to the old ways, and that the pandemic has accelerated the process of digitalization in Croatia. They also positively highlight remote work as a standard and many other business and social norms. Matilda Bačelić spoke with Croatian leaders.

Why is Croatia in such a predicament? Well, the European Union offers 10 billion, and their usage is limited until the end of 2024. Entrepreneurs are most interested in who will be able to withdraw how much money. In a survey on Lider’s portal, 50 percent of 494 respondents this week stated that the money should primarily be used for new investments, 20 percent for saving jobs, 15 percent for company liquidity, seven percent for repaying existing loans, and eight percent would spend that money on other purposes. There are many questions here, and Goran Litvan answered them.

The state breaks your ribs at night with wrong economic policies and heavily taxes you wherever it can, and then during the day treats you with unfocused social transfers that are often between populism and moral hazard. This was among other things said by economist prof.dr.sc. Mladen Vedriš in a major interview he gave to our Goran Litvan.

The story about the company Optimapharm is brought by Ksenija Puškarić, who says that this company is a textbook example of how to create a successful business and how to profit from it.

Farmers have proven to be more resilient during the pandemic crisis than we might have thought. Innovation and readiness to use new technologies have enabled their survival and perhaps encouraged younger people to roll up their sleeves and seek their fortune in this sector. The president of the Croatian Association of Young Farmers (HUMP) Agro Jan Marinac spoke to Edis Felić about the current situation in Croatian agriculture, about youth and innovations that the family company Intertim, of which he is the director and whose founder is his father Draško Marinac, is working on.
