Capital (or capital goods) consists of durable goods that are reused for raw materials and further production. Some capital goods may last for years and years, but the essential feature of capital is that it is the value of input and output. There are three main categories of icapital goods: buildings (such as factories and houses), equipment (durable consumer goods vehicles and durable production equipment such as machines and computers) and stock of various input and output values (such as cars in stock exchanges) . In the knowledge economy, the most important economic resource for achieving sustainable development and competitiveness is no longer capital, natural resources or work (traditional resources), but knowledge and intellectual capital. Human capital is the driver of intellectual capital. The capital market was created by the accumulation of capital itself and the aspiration for as much capital for the individual. The creation of the Croatian capital market began with the emergence of the Republic Croatia, which is still in development and lags behind for many developed markets. A major contribution to the development of the market are various factors, including the privatization of social enterprises and the strengthening of private sectors and various institutions. For the development of the financial sector in Croatia there is a relatively low level of interest, which may explain lower liquidity compared to the holdings of other countries. We can divide capital on our own and foreign capital. Own capital is the equity or equity capital, statutory (mandatory) and free reserves as well as the transfer of capital companies (capital companies) and, in the broader sense, balance, hidden (reserves). Shared capital means assets that have not been entered into the company by the company, the owner of the company or the shareholder, but are made available to the company by third parties, eg through bonds, loans with debt certificates, loans. The contemporary Croatian economy was created by the independence of the Republic Croatia under the conditions of all the transition, political and economic, and through the victorious defense wars. The creation of a modern economy is characterized by the emergence of a new state, the creation of a market economy and a new currency. According to the World Bank data, Croatia has total gross domestic product (GDP) of 42.9 billion USD in 2006, which means that the size of the Croatian economy in the world economy negligible. According to the World Bank, the Republic of Croatia with GDP per capita of USD 12,750 in 2005 belongs to the group of countries with higher middle income, and occupies 69th in the ranking of a total of 152 world countries for which the World Bank collected data in 2005.
