Slovenia Economic Outlook
September 29, 2020
The economy entered recession in Q2 as the pandemic took its toll on activity. A contraction in domestic demand led the downfall, with household consumption and investment both collapsing, while exports also took a hit as containment measures suppressed demand abroad. Turning to Q3, industrial production showed signs of recovery as it declined at a softer rate in July, while the unemployment rate inched down in the same month, signaling a gradually improving labor market. In addition, business confidence and economic sentiment both improved significantly in July–August. However, consumer confidence deteriorated slightly in September, as households turned more pessimistic over their financial situation for the next 12 months, likely in part due to a surge in Covid-19 cases in recent weeks, which risks a snapback of restrictions.Slovenia Economic Growth
GDP is seen shrinking markedly this year due to the fallout from the health crisis. In 2021, the economy should recover as demand both at home and abroad improves. Potential new virus flare-ups, leading to further restrictions, cloud the outlook. FocusEconomics analysts project the economy to contract 7.9% in 2020. In 2021, they see GDP expanding 5.2%, which is unchanged from last month’s forecast.Slovenia Economy Data
