The currency of Hrvatski, which refers to Croatia, is currently the Euro (€). Croatia officially adopted the Euro as its national currency in early 2023.
Transition from Croatian Kuna to Euro
Before the adoption of the Euro, the national currency of Croatia was the Croatian Kuna (Hrvatska kuna). The transition process involved specific dates and a fixed conversion rate, ensuring a smooth shift from the Kuna to the Euro.
Key details regarding the Croatian Kuna's final phase and the Euro adoption are summarized below:
| Aspect | Date/Value |
|---|---|
| Active Period (as per reference data) | July 10, 2020 |
| Replaced by Euro (non-cash transactions) | January 1, 2023 |
| Replaced by Euro (cash transactions) | January 14, 2023 |
| Fixed Conversion Rate | 1 € = 7.53450 kn |
This means that while the Croatian Kuna was in circulation, its exchange rate to the Euro became fixed from July 10, 2020, in preparation for the country's full Eurozone membership. The Euro became legal tender for non-cash transactions on January 1, 2023, followed shortly by its full adoption for cash transactions on January 14, 2023.
The Euro in Croatia
As a member of the Eurozone, Croatia now uses the Euro, which is the official currency of 20 out of the 27 member states of the European Union. This adoption aims to integrate Croatia further into the European economy and facilitate trade and tourism.
