There has never been a better time to land your investment in Slovenia

The core focus of Slovenia’s government is to continue building a modern and efficient economy by supporting innovation, increasing FDI inflows, raising export levels and driving up productivity. As a company’s production network expands, there are new destinations of investment to help extend its geographical reach and a structured, facts-based approach to pick the best available location for the optimisation of its product value chain. Investor weighing a country’s operating conditions and their impact on performance metrics such as lead times, total cost of ownership and the financial bottom line, will agree the skills of the local workforce make a major contribution to productivity and economic success.

 

With the challenging economic prospects over the next couple of years, Slovenia will continue to focus its resources where businesses and the economy as a whole should benefit most. Bundled with the measures aimed at meeting the commitments of the Euro Plus Pact designed to increase competitiveness, promote employment and have a positive effect on fiscal sustainability and stability, there are numerous government-sponsored programmes to improve the skills of employees, boost the capability of local suppliers and enhance Slovenia’s proposition to inward investors.

 

Cross-border trade flows indicate countries generally seen as competitive for investment and with adequate supply.  Vigorous export growth was as crucial to Slovenia’s economic recovery when the country gained independence 20 years ago as it is today when despite modest growth in the euro zone countries – Slovenia’s main trading partners – no significant adverse impact is expected as the local exporters are building their presence in high-growth emerging markets.
