This chapter presents Slovenia’s economic and public finance position. It starts by considering the key features of Slovenia’s economy, and how these have affected its ability to navigate the global economic and fiscal crisis. It goes on to consider the size and structure of government revenues and expenditure, against the background of Slovenia’s public debt and the need for fiscal consolidation. Due to its impact on the public administration, particular attention is paid to the fiscal consolidation strategy that Slovenia has enacted as a means to restore public finances.
