Slovenia: Industrial output loses steam in May
Industrial output expanded 22.1% compared to the same month of the previous year in May, which followed April’s 35.2% increase. The figure was primarily driven by weaker manufacturing output. In addition, electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply production lost pace.

Meanwhile, the trend improved, with the annual average growth of industrial production coming in at plus 3.7%, up from April’s 0.5%.
