Slovenia’s consolidated general government deficit, including those of the state budget, the health and pension funds and local government budgets, amounted to EUR 2.92 billion or 5.8% of GDP last year, 1.8 percentage points less than a year before, according to the Finance Ministry.
The decline was due to the growth in revenue outpacing the rise in expenditure; revenue rose to EUR 21.4 billion, up 15.4% from 2020 and up 11.2% from 2019, and expenditure was up 10.1% from 2020 and up 28.1% from 2019 to EUR 24.3 billion.
