Tomislav Ćorić (born 17 November 1979) is a Croatian politician who serves as deputy Prime Minister and minister of finance since 2026. In 2016 after the victory of the HDZ-led coalition in the parliamentary elections, Ćorić began representing the Ministry of Labour and Pension System in the first cabinet of Andrej Plenković.[1] In 2017, he became the Minister of Environmental Protection and Energy.[2] Ćorić focused on the waste management system during his time, investing more money into the systems.[3] However, he drew controversy for sending Croatian oil for processing to a Hungarian refinery instead of the Rijeka refinery. He was also accused of being friends with people with corruption charges like Josipa Rimac and Dragan Kovačević.[4]
In 2020, he left the role of Minister of Environmental Protection and began representing the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development until 2022 when he was succeeded by Davor Filipović.[5][6] During the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Ćorić started leading the newly-created Gas Crisis Team to organize Croatia's gas supply and distribution, although the team stopped meeting in 2023.[7] In May 2022, after his term as Minister of Economy, he was proposed as Vice Governor of the Croatian National Bank.[6] He was confirmed as Vice Governor of the bank on 27 May 2022 by the Croatian Parliament, where he is in charge of multiple different offices. He is also a member of the Board of Supervisors of the European Banking Authority.[8]
Early life
Ćorić was born on 17 November 1979 in Metković.[9] In 2003 he graduated as a Bachelor of Economics from the Faculty of Economics at the University of Zagreb. He later earned his master's in 2007 and his PhD in 2011 from the same university, both in economics.[9]
