Jure Povšnar, Tina Golob Šušteršič, Mojca Koprivnikar Šušteršič, Mateja Kovač, Ana Vidrih: Analysis of Slovenian companies' performance in 2020, by activity
In 2020, the value added of companies accounted for approximately 59% of the total value added of the Slovenian economy, and under the severe epidemic circumstances it declined slightly, while the decrease in business results was much more pronounced. Although business performance of commercial companies decreased significantly by almost 40%, it was still much better than in the years following…
Slovenian Economic Mirror 6/2020
The COVID-19 epidemic caused a significant contraction of economic activity in the second quarter in the entire euro area; amid a relatively robust recovery of activity in the summer months, international institutions have upgraded slightly their forecasts for this year but nevertheless predict considerable GDP declines. Slovenia has also witnessed a recovery since May, which, in the presence of…
Jože Markič: Analysis of responsiveness of Slovenian goods exports
The workbook analyzes the responsiveness of Slovenian exports to foreign demand and the real effective exchange rate. The Slovenian economy is traditionally very open, as the share of exports in relation to GDP averaged 75.7% of GDP in the period 2010–2018. Due to this openness, the performance of the economy is largely determined by external conditions. The author first presents Slovenia’s export…

Slovenian Economic Mirror 5/2020
The fight with the COVID-19 epidemic has had a major impact on economic activity since mid-March, notably in April. After falling further in April, the indicators of economic activity started to improve gradually in May and June, but were still significantly lower than in the same period of last year. With the loosening of containment measures and a gradual recovery of production in Slovenia and…
Summer Forecast of Economic Trends 2020
The COVID-19 epidemic, in combination with stringent health protection and containment measures, represents a significant negative shock to economic activity, which will contract strongly this year. The depth of the GDP decline and the dynamics of the recovery are (and will be) crucially dependent on the epidemiological situation and the scope and content of economic policy measures. In the…

Slovenian Economic Mirror 4/2020
The consequences of dealing with the COVID-19 epidemic are being felt in the entire euro area – a decline in economic activity, historically low indicators of confidence and expectations, forecasts of a deep recession in 2020. In this uncertain situation, the pace of recovery will to a great extent depend on epidemiological conditions and economic policy measures at various levels. Since March,…
Slovenian Economic Mirror 3/2020
In March, the consequences of the coronavirus epidemic and the measures taken to contain its spread already had a significant negative impact on activity in both the euro area and Slovenian economy. The spread of the epidemic in neighbouring countries and main trading partners contributed to a fall in demand and disrupted supply chains. In the middle of the month, Slovenia adopted measures that,…
