![]() ![]() Slovenia Economy - 2002 https://greekorthodoxchurch.org/wfb2002/slovenia/slovenia_economy.html SOURCE: 2002 CIA WORLD FACTBOOK Economy - overview Although Slovenia enjoys a GDP per capita substantially higher than that of the other transitioning economies of Central Europe, it needs to speed up the privatization process and the dismantling of restrictions on foreign investment. About 45% of the economy remains in state hands, and the level of foreign direct investment inflows as a percent of GDP is the lowest in the region. Despite the global slowdown in 2001, the economy turned in an excellent record on exports, which grew 5%. Inflation dropped slightly but at 8.4% remains a matter of concern.
