Nach der jüngsten Schätzung des BIP-Wachstums von 1,5 Prozent im vergangenen Jahr hat sich die Inflation im August auf 3 Prozent beschleunigt.
Nach Angaben des Statistischen Amtes der Republik Slowenien (Surs) wuchs das BIP in Slowenien im Jahr 2025 im Vergleich zum Vorjahr um 1,5% und korrigierte seine Schätzung gegenüber der Anfangsbewertung im Februar um 0,4 Prozentpunkte. Dieses Wachstum war langsamer als die 2,6% im Jahr 2023 und die 2% im Jahr 2024. Der Anstieg des BIP wurde hauptsächlich durch Informations- und Kommunikationsaktivitäten, Finanz- und Versicherungsdienstleistungen und Bauwesen vorangetrieben, die jeweils 0,3 Prozentpunkte beitrugen. Andere Sektoren wie Gesundheitswesen, Sozialarbeit, Immobilien und professionelle, wissenschaftliche und technische Aktivitäten trugen ebenfalls positiv dazu bei. Allerdings beeinträchtigten die verarbeitenden Industrien das Wachstum um 0,3 Prozentpunkte, gefolgt von Elektrizität, Gas, Dampf und Wasserversorgung sowie der Reparatur von Kraftfahrzeugen und dem Handel, wobei jedes Wachstum um 0,1 Prozentpunkte zurückging. Der Endverbrauch der Haushalte stieg um 2,4%, während der Endverbrauch der öffentlichen Hand um 3,2% stieg. Die Bruttoinlandschaftliche Kapitalbildung stieg um 5,3%, wobei der Anteil an Bau-, Inventar-, Maschinen-, Geräten und Inventarprodukten trotz positiveränderungen um 0,874,9% an der BIP im Jahr 2023.
The coming week will see three key developments shaping Slovenia’s autumn, according to reports. While the National Assembly will not hold a regular session, parliamentary committees will meet, signaling which topics will dominate the country's agenda during the fall. Particular attention will be given to finance and economic policy. Meanwhile, significant activity will take place beyond Slovenia’s borders, with informal ministerial meetings within the European Union focusing on defense, foreign policy, and European coordination, issues of particular relevance to Slovenia due to concerns over defense spending. In the economy, a paradox emerges: while Slovenia’s GDP grew by five percent in the second quarter of the year, recent data suggest a more cautious outlook among businesses. One of the central stories of the upcoming weeks will be whether this growth continues throughout the year, compounded by inflation remaining near three percent. The implications for households, companies, and the government in the months ahead remain under scrutiny. According to the Statistical Office of the Republic of Slovenia (SURS), the country’s real GDP increased by 1.5 percent in 2025, marking an improvement from earlier estimates. This figure represents a rise of 0.4 percentage points compared to the initial assessment released in February. The nominal GDP, measured in current prices, rose by 5.5 percent compared to the previous year. The increase was driven primarily by information and communication activities, financial and insurance services, and construction, each contributing 0.3 percentage points to the overall growth. Additional contributions came from healthcare and social work (with social work making the largest contribution despite having a third lower added value than healthcare), real estate operations, and professional, scientific, and technical activities, each adding 0.2 percentage points. However, certain sectors had a negative impact on economic growth. Processing industries contributed a decline of 0.3 percentage points. Other areas affected included electricity, gas, steam, and air conditioning supply, water supply, waste management, and trade, maintenance, and repair of motor vehicles, each contributing a decrease of 0.1 percentage points. Household final consumption expenditure grew by 2.4 percent in real terms, fueled by spending on all categories of goods, particularly durable goods (rising 5.8 percent), semi-durable goods (3.1 percent), non-durable goods (2.7 percent), and services (2.1 percent). Government final consumption expenditure increased by 3.2 percent, with individual services rising 3.4 percent and collective services 2.7 percent. Gross capital formation in fixed assets rose by 5.3 percent, with construction growing by 6.2 percent, equipment and machinery by 5.2 percent, and intellectual property products by 3.8 percent. Inventory changes accounted for 0.9 percent of GDP, representing an increase of 0.4 percentage points compared to 2024, largely due to higher levels of unfinished production and trade goods stock. The balance of trade remained positive, amounting to 3.874 billion euros in current prices. However, imports of goods and services rose more sharply than exports. Export values increased by 0.2 percent in real terms, while import values climbed by 2.8 percent. Trade conditions improved slightly, with export prices rising by 1.4 percent compared to 0.1 percent for imports. The share of wages in GDP increased by 0.6 percentage points to 52 percent. The share of production taxes decreased by 0.2 percentage points to 12.8 percent of GDP, while subsidies increased by 0.1 percentage points to 1.5 percent of GDP. The share of gross capital consumption fell by 0.2 percentage points to 18 percent of GDP, and the share of net operating surplus and other income declined by 0.1 percentage points to 18.7 percent of GDP. Employment figures showed a slight decline, with total employment decreasing by approximately one thousand persons, or 0.1 percent. Average annual employment was estimated at 1.102 million people, with 79.5 percent being employees and 20.5 percent self-employed. The biggest reductions in employment were recorded in processing industries, which saw around 4,000 fewer jobs, or a 0.4 percentage point reduction. The largest positive contribution came from healthcare and social work, which added around 2,000 more jobs, or 0.2 percentage points. The economic landscape reflects both progress and challenges, with continued efforts needed to sustain growth amid inflationary pressures and shifting global dynamics.
