The spread of the coronavirus epidemic and the emergency health protection measures are strongly affecting economic activity, which is set to shrink significantly this year.

Slovenian Economic Mirror 2/2020
At the end of last year, moderate economic activity in Slovenia continued, while confidence started to improve. Confidence improved in almost all sectors, particularly manufacturing.

On the labour market, unemployment continues to decline at a moderate…
Slovenian Economic Mirror 1/2020
Towards the end of last year, signs of stabilisation started to show in the global economy amid slightly less pronounced negative risks. The moderation of growth in foreign demand in the euro area in the course of last year was in Slovenia reflected mainly in lower growth in exports of some main manufactured goods. Private consumption was strengthening further at the beginning of the last quarter…
Slovenian Economic Mirror 8/2019
Year-on-year GDP growth in the first three quarters was 2.7%, which is a significant slowdown relative to last year and close to IMAD’s autumn forecast for 2019 as a whole (2.8%).

The slowdown in export growth is in line with expectations, while it is encouraging that growth…

The moderation of growth in foreign demand is reflected in more modest growth in export-oriented sectors of the Slovenian economy this year. In sectors that are mainly related to private consumption, activity has mostly been strengthening. Growth in household spending continues, amid further growth in disposable income. Employment growth remains fairly high particularly due to the hiring of…

The growth of exports of…
