Indicators of economy in Slovenia

The essential economic performance of a country is reflected by the gross domestic product, the total of all goods and services sold. Worldwide gross domestic product in 2021 was at about 12,183 USD per capita. GDP in Slovenia, on the other hand, reached USD 29,291 per capita, or 61.75 billion USD for the whole country. Slovenia is therefore currently ranked 84 of the major economies. If this is calculated per inhabitant, taking purchasing power parity into account, then Slovenia ranks 34th in the list of the richest countries.

Inflation in Slovenia in 2022 was around 8.83%. Within the EU, the average in the same year was 9.22 percent. In the United States, it was most recently 8.00%.

The index for perceived corruption in the public sector is 56, which is rather mediocre by global standards.

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic

Overall, the gross domestic product in Slovenia in 2020 decreased moderatly from 54.33 billion US dollars to 53.71 billion US dollars. Certainly, there have been shifts in some sectors of the economy, but a drop of 1.1 percent is still comparatively good this year. Numerous countries suffered more substantial losses. The tourism sector alone slumped by around 58 percent. The unemployment rate rose from 4.5 to 5.0 percent. The country's gross debt increased by 20.3 percent. The inflation rate fell from 1.6 percent previously to -0.1 percent by the end of 2020.

In 2021, there was already a recovery and the gross domestic product increased to 61.75 billion US dollars (=113.7% of 2019).

Income and purchasing power

The average monthly income in Slovenia is 2,357 US Dollar per capita. In the USA, the figure is 5,911 US Dollar. However, the prices of consumer goods are also around 31.7 percent lower than in the USA. If you compare income and price levels, the result is a more expensive life in Slovenia than in the United States. The bottom line is that the costs do not offset the lower income, and you get about 41.6 percent less.

However, it is also important to remember that this is a purely statistical model. Both the labor output and the type and quality of the goods received always correspond to the national average on both sides of the equation - so they do not necessarily have to match. Here you can also find an international comparison of cost of living and purchasing power.
