Slovenian Economic Mirror 3/2021
The export-oriented part of the Slovenian economy was not notably affected due to the deterioration in epidemiological conditions at the end of last and the beginning of this year; export market share strengthened significantly in the last quarter of last year. In the first two months, household consumption was still lower than a year earlier, but in March it picked up significantly according to…
Spring Forecast of Economic Trends 2021
After last year’s sharp contraction of economic activity, we forecast 4.6% GDP growth for this year.

Particularly…
Slovenian Economic Mirror 2/2021
Amid stringent containment measures during the second wave of the epidemic, turnover in trade and some service activities declined considerably in Slovenia in the last quarter. As during the first wave, the most affected sector was accommodation and food service activities, where, with the closure of hotels and restaurants, turnover more than halved. Owing to lower demand, the epidemic and the…
Slovenian Economic Mirror 1/2021
With stringent containment measures, turnover in trade and some service activities, particularly those related to private consumption, dropped significantly in Slovenia at the beginning of the last quarter of 2020. The epidemic and the measures to contain its spread have, due to lower demand, also strongly affected the movement of some prices of goods and services. The year-on-year fall in…

Winter Forecast of Economic Trends 2020
In the Winter Forecast IMAD projects a 6.6% decline in GDP for this year. After a deep fall in the second quarter, the economy recovered even more than expected in the third quarter. For the last quarter, we expect a renewed decline, but it will be smaller than in the spring, partly due to the adaptation of businesses and consumers to the new circumstances. We estimate that the economic impact of…

After a sharp decline in economic activity in the second quarter due to the COVID-19 epidemic and the related containment measures, GDP growth increased in the third quarter.

Total net profit thus significantly exceeded the record level of 2007 (also in real terms). Also in 2019 business results were positive in all economic activities, which mainly operated with higher profit. In the period…
