    About this ebook

    In recent years the Slovenian economy has struggled with many challenges, including some very tough ones. How these challenges reflected in individual business activities, what their impact on enterprises was and what the prospects are, can in many ways be explained by statistical data.
    The mass of business statistics was compiled into an interesting kaleidoscope, which, offered in one place, brings insight into the characteristics, structure, changes and development of the Slovenian economy from 2005 on. We are convinced that these pages will bring interesting and useful information on business activities divided into four main sets: industry, construction, trade and other non-financial services.
    Each set of business activities is presented comprehensively, from different points of view and understandably. Many data are shown from which different indicators can be derived indicating the importance of individual activities compared to the total economy, the impact of the economic crisis on them, international comparisons, structural characteristics within individual activities, and forecasts. Short comments and explanations are completed by graphical presentations and emphases on key data and changes. The story concludes with a schematic presentation of an average enterprise in Slovenia.
    We hope you will enjoy reading our new brochure and that it will help better understand the Slovenian economy, individual activities and enterprises. For more extensive and detailed data on this subject, visit our SI-STAT Data Portal.

      In recent years the Slovenian economy has struggled with many challenges, including some very tough ones. How these challenges reflected in individual business activities, what their impact on enterprises was and what the prospects are, can in many ways be explained by statistical data.

      The mass of business statistics was compiled into an interesting kaleidoscope, which, offered in one place, brings insight into the characteristics, structure, changes and development of the Slovenian economy from 2005 on. We are convinced that these pages will bring interesting and useful information on business activities divided into four main sets: industry, construction, trade and other non-financial services.

      Each set of business activities is presented comprehensively, from different points of view and understandably. Many data are shown from which different indicators can be derived indicating the importance of individual activities compared to the total economy, the impact of the economic crisis on them, international comparisons, structural characteristics within individual activities, and forecasts. Short comments and explanations are completed by graphical presentations and emphases on key data and changes. The story concludes with a schematic presentation of an average enterprise in Slovenia.

      Business statistics at SURS cover all statistical surveys with which various data on active enterprises are collected. Namely, these are enterprises that are according to the Standard Classification of Activities (SKD 2008) classified into financial and non-financial business activities, i.e. sections of activities B to N and division S95.

      All business entities with headquarters in Slovenia performing market or non-market activities are registered in the Business Register of Slovenia (PRS).

      The backbone and the sampling frame of the business statistics (i.e. the list of units comprising the population from which a sample is selected) is the Statistical Business Register (SPRS), which contains data on all active enterprises in Slovenia. It is compiled from several administrative data sources and from data collected with statistical surveys as well as other information.

      Structural business statistics monitors the operation of active market enterprises and provides internationally comparable data.

      Further on primarily statistical data on non-financial business activities are presented and broken down into four main sets: industry, construction, trade and other non-financial services, i.e. non-financial services excluding trade.
