The negative impact of coronavirus spread on global growth and international trade is still strong, which is particularly evident in global supply chains. Interruptions in production and distribution affected all members of marketing channels from primary producers to retailers. The paper presents import and export changes in absolute amounts and structure of the international trade balance. Also, the paper provides an overview of international exchange with the most important foreign partners of the Republic of Croatia before and during the pandemic. The best insight into the economic activity of the state is given by the gross domestic product, which is also an indicator of economic growth and development of the country’s standard of living. Real global GDP fell by about 40 percent during the pandemic, with a stronger decline in advanced Europe, where the virus first spread relative to emerging Europe. Primary purpose of this paper is to analyze and present the foreign trade situation of the Republic of Croatia in recent years, also to point out its importance during economic crises. The aim of this final work is to analyze foreign trade data, as well as compare it with EU countries. Much still depends on the epidemiology of the virus, the effectiveness of control measures and vaccination, so projections for the next two years, 2021 and 2022, are also given.
