Slovenia Q1 Growth 0.4%, Inflation 2.4%, Risks Rise

The Bank of Slovenia's April 2026 macroeconomic review reports domestic economic activity growth of 0.4% quarter-on-quarter in Q1, with headline HICP inflation slowing to 2.4% in March and core inflation unchanged at 2.3%. The review identifies heightened risks stemming from the Middle East conflict, including increased cost pressures, supply chain disruptions, deteriorating consumer confidence, and fiscal deficit widening to 2.5% of GDP, while wage growth accelerated sharply at 16% due to minimum wage increases and trade contracted in both exports and imports.

Slovenia Q1 Growth Continues, War Inflation Rises, Consumption Slows

Banka Slovenije published its April 2026 macroeconomic review, reporting that Slovenia's economy continued to grow in Q1 2026, though domestic consumption slowed and industrial production remained weak. Headline inflation eased to 2.4% in March, while the minimum wage rose 16% — the second-largest increase in two decades and the largest in the EU this year. The direct impact of the war in the Middle East is being reflected in a sharp rise in consumers' inflation expectations, with broader economic risks to growth and the fiscal outlook expected to strengthen over the remainder of 2026.
