Disposable per capita income above the Slovenian average in the seven statistical regions

According to data released by the Statistical Office of the Republic of Slovenia (SURS), disposable income per capita increased across all statistical regions in Slovenia in 2025. The national average rose by 5.0 percent to 17,926 euros, while regional growth rates varied significantly, ranging from 2.4 percent in the Podravlje region to 7.8 percent in the Posavje region. Southeastern Slovenia recorded the highest disposable income at 18,638 euros per capita, which was 4.0 percent above the national average, whereas the Pomurje region had the lowest at 16,409 euros, sitting 8.4 percent below the mean. The disparity between the highest and lowest regional incomes amounted to 12.4 percent, maintaining a level of stability consistent with trends observed over the previous decade. Additionally, two regions, Central Slovenia and Gorenjska, fell below the national average regarding the share of disposable income relative to primary household income, a pattern typically associated with areas where residents generate higher primary earnings from labor and capital before redistribution processes.

The average disposable income per capita in Slovenia rose by five percent last year, reaching 17,926 euros. According to data released by the national statistical office, this increase was recorded across all statistical regions in the country. The gap between the wealthiest and poorest areas remained substantial, with the highest regional income exceeding the lowest by more than twelve percent. Growth rates varied significantly among the regions. The Posavje region recorded the strongest expansion at seven point eight percent, followed by the Goriška region at seven point one percent and southeastern Slovenia at six point three percent. In contrast, the Podravska region saw the smallest rise, amounting to just two point four percent. Other regions such as Savinjska and Zasavska posted growth figures of six point one and five point nine percent respectively. The Obalno-Kraška and Gorenjska regions both increased their incomes by five point three and five point four percent. Southeastern Slovenia held the position of having the highest disposable income per resident at 18,638 euros. This figure stood four percent above the national average. At the opposite end of the scale, the Pomurska region had the lowest income at 16,409 euros, which was eight point four percent below the national mean. Consequently, the difference between the maximum and minimum regional values amounted to twelve point four percent. The central Slovenian region reported an income of 18,368 euros, while the Koroška region reached 18,596 euros. The Primorsko-Notranjska region recorded 18,232 euros, and the Goriška region came in at 18,182 euros. Eastern Slovenia averaged 17,706 euros, and Western Slovenia averaged 18,166 euros. Statisticians noted that disparities in disposable income per capita between regions have not changed significantly over the past decade. These differences generally fluctuate between two point one and three point four percent. When weighted by population size, regional incomes differed from the national level by an average of two point seven percent last year. The dispersion indicator value increased by zero point four percentage points compared to the previous year. Historical data shows the spread index ranged from eleven point nine to nineteen point five index points between 2016 and 2025. Regarding the share of disposable income within primary household income, only two regions fell below the national average of eighty-five point three percent. The Central Slovenian region recorded a ratio of eighty point one percent, and the Gorenjska region logged eighty-four point six percent. The remaining ten statistical regions exceeded the national benchmark for this specific metric. The statistical office explained that regions typically falling below the average on this measure often possess above-average primary income per capita. Residents in these areas generate higher earnings from labor and capital, yet their disposable income decreases relatively during the redistribution process. All other regions maintained ratios above the national standard.
