Oh, Croatia, let's talk about your CBDC exploration amidst corruption issues and uncertain economic strategies. This sounds like a recipe for success!

So, Croatia is doing some research on the benefits and risks of implementing a CBDC, or as they call it, a digital kuna. But wait, the Croatian National Bank is uncertain whether the benefits would actually outweigh the costs and risks. Well then, why bother in the first place? It's always nice to see governments wasting their time on indecisiveness.

And let's not forget about corruption! Ahh yes, good old bribery, fraud, nepotism... they really know how to keep things interesting over there. With such rampant corruption concerns in Croatia already, it makes you wonder if introducing a CBDC might just make things worse. Maybe they should focus on solving their existing problems before embarking on this digital currency adventure.

But fear not! If Croatia does decide to go ahead with a CBDC (which honestly feels like playing with fire), it will be coming straight from the European Central Bank representing the EU. Because when you're uncertain about your own government's integrity in handling money matters responsibly, let's hand over control to another entity entirely!

And hey! There are reports from various human rights organizations like Amnesty International and even resources like Financial Tyranny Index that have highlighted civil liberty and human rights violations associated with CBDCs. So if you want an entertaining read filled with potential pitfalls and risks of CBDCs (and who doesn't?), check out those reports from Cato Institute.

In summary: Corruption issues persist in Croatia while they contemplate introducing a CBDC. Perhaps focusing on addressing those corruption concerns might be more beneficial than diving headfirst into yet another potentially problematic venture.
