Slovenia Q3 GDP Growth Strongest in a Year

This marked the strongest expansion since the first quarter of 2024, boosted by faster rise in household consumption (3% vs 1.3% in Q3) and government spending (3.8% vs 1.2%). Additionally, fixed investments (12% vs 10%) increased further, mainly driven by growth in buildings and facilities. Meanwhile, net trade contributed negatively to the GDP.
