QUALITY OF TRAFFIC SYSTEM AS ONE OF THE FACTORS OF FOREIGN CAPITAL INVESTMENT INTO CROATIAN ECONOMY

Based on implemented research it can be concluded that important development orientation of Croatia is to initiate faster development flows at the entire state territory. It is impossible to realize more favourable development results without new investments andother conditions. Since capital is inadequate resource in countries in transition, development much depends upon foreign investments. Increasing openness of Croatian market and gradual strengthening of market andentire democracy of society contribute to growth of credit reputation/confidence as precondition for investment into Croatian economy. Foreign investors (first of all banks, investment funds and private investors) in search for world market, demand stable economic and political relations aimed to realization of the largest possible profit. Transitional and globalization processes have been underway in Croatia, what causes numerous challenges between large necessities and wishes, and restricted investment andtechnically-technological possibilities for necessary economic development and efficient inclusion into European and world integrations. Based on this, for future development andquality improvement of Croatian traffic system, foreign capital investment is necessary along to domestic capital. Within this a special significance belongs to traffic, because contemporary and qualitative traffic enables, among other things , expansion of economic activities, thus traffic is quite surely essential precondition for economic revival and overcoming economic crisis.
