Slovenia’s seasonally adjusted manufacturing business tendency indicator slipped to -9 in April 2026 from -8 in March, marking a continued deterioration in sentiment and the lowest reading since September 2025. The decline came as current production turned negative (-1 vs 1 in March), while demand conditions remained subdued, with both export and overall order books unchanged at -26, reflecting persistent weakness in external and domestic demand. Meanwhile, stocks of finished products edged up to 3 from 2, suggesting slower inventory turnover. Looking ahead, production expectations softened (2 vs 4) and prices are seen sharply higher (26 vs 10). Employment expectations improved slightly (4 vs 3), however, uncertainty remained elevated at 35, while the labour hoarding indicator held steady at 8, suggesting firms are retaining workers despite weaker activity. source: Statistical Office of the Republic of Slovenia
