SloveniaChapitres
The Slovene lands were part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire until the latter's dissolution at the end of World War I. In 1918, the Slovenes joined the Serbs and Croats in forming a new multinational state, which was named Yugoslavia in 1929. After World War II, Slovenia became a republic of the renewed Yugoslavia, which though communist, distanced itself from Moscow's rule. Dissatisfied with the exercise of power by the majority Serbs, the Slovenes succeeded in establishing their independence in 1991 after a short 10-day war. Historical ties to Western Europe, a strong economy, and a stable democracy have assisted in Slovenia's transformation to a modern state. Slovenia acceded to both NATO and the EU in the spring of 2004; it joined the euro zone and the Schengen zone in 2007.

Indicateurs macroéconomiques
The economy is projected to continue its strong expansion in 2018, growing at 5% in 2018 and nearly 4% in 2019. Private consumption will be boosted by strong real income growth from the buoyant labour market. Favourable financial conditions and EU structural funds will underpin business and public infrastructure investment. Exports will decelerate as higher wages undermine external competitiveness. Imports will be bolstered by higher domestic demand and tighter capacity constraints.
The fiscal stance is projected to remain expansionary, even though rapid growth will secure a higher budget surplus. Nonetheless, a still higher surplus is needed to contain inflationary pressures as monetary conditions will remain highly accommodative. In addition, greater privatisation efforts would boost jobs and growth.
