The v3.2 stress index is a six-axis composite of energy and food exposure, geopolitical pressure, fiscal headroom, demography and supply concentration, normalised to a 0–1 scale.
Croatia hosts the Krk LNG terminal, a gateway that supplies gas to central Europe as well as its own market, and retains modest domestic oil and gas output. Tourism drives sharp seasonal demand peaks. Its cereal output slightly exceeds demand.
Croatia is relatively water-rich, though the Adriatic coast and islands face summer scarcity.
