Any citizen earning under $184 U.S. dollars a month, rent their property and unable to pay off debts will get up to $5,146 wiped away.  Power companies, loan brokers, banks and phone companies are part of the businesses that will have to swallow the losses.

“We are doing all we can to make people’s lives easier in this protracted and strenuous crisis and give them a chance for a fresh start,” Prime Minister Zoran Milanovic said in a press conference.

Officials estimate that 60,000 Croatians will be receiving debt relief under the plan.  The action will cost creditors as much as $309 million U.S. according to estimates.

Croatia has been suffering from a massive recession for seven years.
