This country profile features selected environmental indicators from the OECD Core Set, building on harmonised datasets available on OECD.stat. The indicators reflect major environmental issues, including climate, air quality, freshwater resources, waste and the circular economy, and biodiversity. Differences with national data sources can occur due to delays in data treatment and publication, or due to different national definitions and measurement methods. The OECD is working with countries and other international organisations to further improve the indicators and the underlying data.
In addition to the Public Procurement Act (2015) the Government of the Republic of Slovenia adopted a Decree on GPP in 2012, with the aim of reducing emissions and making the public sector a role model for society and the private sector. The GPP Decree was revised in 2018 (Uradni list RS, št. 51/17 z dne 19. 9. 2017) in order to promote markets for green products and support the country’s transition to a circular economy. The last update of the GPP Decree was in 2021 (Uradni list RS, št. 121/2021 from 23. 7. 2021) with the additional two green subjects. In particular, the GPP Decree provides for the obligation of contracting authorities to integrate environmental considerations for different procurement categories (e.g. products, services, and works).
Public sector remuneration systems are shaped by an intricate interaction of administrative culture, economic conditions, and political systems. This paper discusses critical considerations to bear in mind when designing, planning and implementing reforms of public service wage systems. It explores key concepts such as job evaluation, pay structures, performance-related pay, market analysis for competitive pay levels and wage bill planning. It provides guidance on the process of reforming public sector salary systems to enhance their competitiveness, equity, transparency and affordability. The paper offers insights drawn from the reform efforts of several EU Member States and SIGMA partners in the Western Balkans, Moldova and Ukraine, presenting real-life examples and updated guidelines for effective, sustainable salary system changes. The primary focus is on reforms of wage systems within central government administrations, acknowledging the complexity arising from diverse classifications of civil service and public employees, and the varying scope and structure of salary systems. This paper serves as a practical guide, presenting options along with their advantages and disadvantages to aid policymakers in aligning reforms with their national public administration context and strategies.
Slovenia’s development co-operation focuses on its near neighbourhood in the Western Balkans and Eastern Europe, including through its integration into the European Union (EU). Over half of Slovenia’s official development assistance (ODA) is delivered bilaterally, and the European Union receives almost all of its multilateral ODA. Slovenia’s total ODA (USD 162.9 million, preliminary data) decreased in 2023, representing 0.24% of gross national income (GNI).
GDP growth is projected to pick up to 2.3% in 2024 and 2.7% in 2025, with a recovery in domestic and external demand. Private consumption will be supported by a tight labour market and increasing real incomes as inflationary pressures slowly recede. Government spending on reconstruction following the devastating floods in 2023 as well as the inflow of EU funds will sustain investment growth.
La croissance du PIB devrait s’accélérer pour atteindre 2.3 % en 2024 et 2.7 % en 2025, sur fond de redressement de la demande intérieure et extérieure. Les tensions sur le marché du travail et la hausse des revenus réels accompagnant le lent reflux de l’inflation favoriseront la consommation privée. Les dépenses publiques consacrées à la reconstruction dans le sillage des inondations dévastatrices de 2023 ainsi que l’afflux de fonds en provenance de l’UE doperont l’investissement.

Gross domestic product (GDP) is the standard measure of the value of final goods and services produced by a country during a period minus the value of imports. This subset of Aggregate National Accounts comprises comprehensive statistics on gross domestic product (GDP) by presenting the three different approaches of its measure of GDP: output based GDP, expenditure based GDP and income based GDP. These three different measures of gross domestic product (GDP) are further detailed by transactions whereby: the output approach includes gross value added at basic prices, taxes less subsidies, statistical discrepancy; the expenditure approach includes domestic demand, gross capital formation, external balance of goods and services; and the income approach includes variables such as compensation of employees, gross operating surplus, taxes and production and imports. Gross domestic product (GDP) data are measured in national currency and are available in current prices, constant prices and per capita starting from 1950 onwards.
