Abstract

Makroekonomske neravnoteže su se gomilale dugi niz godina, a posebno su došle do izražaja tijekom zadnje financijske krize kada su imale veliki utjecaj na većinu zemalja članica te, u konačnici, na cijelo područje Europske unije. Makroekonomske neravnoteže utječu na održivost financijskog sustava, konkurentnost i makroekonomsku stabilnost zemlje, stoga osnovni cilj ovog rada jest definirati i opisati moguće načine rješavanja ili ublažavanja neravnoteža uz sve pripadajuće rizike za Republiku Hrvatsku i Europsku uniju. Važnu ulogu u tome svemu imaju europske institucije i nacionalne vlade.
Izrada rada temelji se na proučavanju i analiziranju stručnih publikacija, literature i članaka u kojima su obrađivane teme koje se tiču ovog rada. Koristili su se i statistički podaci za podrobnu analizu i izradu pripadajućih tablica i grafikona.
Iako su provedene brojne mjere, čemu u prilog idu i pozitivni ostvareni rezultati u Hrvatskoj i Europskoj uniji, ostavljeno je još dosta prostora za poboljšanje. Strukturne reforme i programi moraju biti usmjereni na poboljšanje rezultata svih pokazatelja makroekonomskih neravnoteža. Osim na javne financije, one moraju biti usmjerene na zdravstveni i mirovinski sustav, tržište rada, socijalnu zaštitu, javnu upravu i povećanje apsorpcije sredstava iz fondova Europske unije. To bi dovelo do dugoročne održivosti, a u konačnici utjecalo bi se na rast zaposlenosti, konkurentnost, izvoz i gospodarski rast.

Abstract (english)

Macroeconomic imbalances were accumulated over years, and particularly came to the fore during the last financial crisis when they had a big influence on the most member countries, and, at the end, on the whole European union. Macroeconomic imbalances affects a sustainability of financial system, competitiveness and a macroeconomic stability of the country, hence, the purpose of this work is to identify and describe possible ways of solving and diminishing imbalances with all the associated risks for Croatia and the European union. National governments and European institutions have an important role in all of that.
Creation of the work is based on the study and analysis of professional publications, literature and articles that covered topics relating to the work. Statistical data are used for detailed analysis and creation of accompanying tables and charts.
Although many measures are implemented, which is supported by positive results in Croatia and the European union, there is a lot of space for an enchancement. Structural reforms and programs must be directed at improving the results of all indicators of macroeconomic imbalances. Except on public finance, they must be focused on health and pension system, a labour market, a social protection, a public administration and increasing of the absorption from the European union's fund. It would be lead to a long-term sustainability, and at the end it will influence an increasing of employment, competitiveness, export and economic growth.
