Corruption is the exploitation of a public good for personal gain in order to acquire illegal private property, and it can be classified according to various social and institutional factors. There are a number of harmful consequences of corruption that can affect society as a whole, and economic activities in particular. Although there are various anti-corruption laws and institutions in Croatia, the low level of law enforcement is a very serious problem. According to the measurements of the perception of corruption in Croatia in the past 20 years, Croatia is at the back of the EU countries, and no trends of improvement have been shown. Reducing corruption would increase Croatia's GDP and reduce inflation, which would help maintain price stability. Corruption in Croatia has a number of other negative consequences related to the squandering of funds, the destruction of political culture and the damage it inflicts on the social morale of Croatian citizens. The Strategy for the Prevention of Corruption for the period from 2021 to 2030 was developed as a continuation of the continuous strategic implementation and upgrading of the system of anti-corruption measures in the Republic of Croatia. In addition to the continuous implementation and upgrading of existing anti-corruption mechanisms, it is necessary to strengthen existing and create new systematic solutions to prevent corruption at all levels.
