FX.co ★ Slovenia Q4 GDP Strongest in Nearly 2 Years

Slovenia’s gross domestic product grew by 2% year-on-year in the fourth quarter of 2025, slightly above the upwardly revised 1.9% increase recorded in the previous quarter. This was the fastest expansion since the first quarter of 2024, supported by a stronger rise in household consumption (3% vs. 1.3% in Q3) and government spending (3.8% vs. 1.2%). Fixed investment also accelerated (12% vs. 10%), mainly driven by increased spending on buildings and infrastructure. By contrast, net trade made a negative contribution to growth. Exports rose modestly by 0.5% (vs. -0.4%), while imports surged 4.8% (vs. 1.7%), with goods imports up 5.4% and services imports up 1.6%. On a seasonally adjusted quarterly basis, the economy expanded by 0.4% in the fourth quarter, the weakest pace since the third quarter of 2024 and down from a slightly upwardly revised 0.9% in the previous quarter. Over the whole of 2025, GDP increased by 1.1%, compared with 1.6% in 2024.
