Slovenia’s business morale falls to eight‑month low
Slovenia’s manufacturing business tendency indicator dropped to its weakest level since June 2025 in February 2026, reflecting softer production expectations and weaker order books.
Slovenia’s seasonally adjusted business tendency indicator in manufacturing fell by 5 points to –8 in February 2026, marking the lowest level in eight months following a decline from –3 in January. Production expectations dropped to 5 from 12, while assessments of overall order books worsened to –23 from –22 and export order books slipped to –25 from –24. The data signal cooling business sentiment amid ongoing uncertainty in international markets and weaker demand conditions. Analysts note that subdued manufacturing outlook could weigh on investment and export‑driven growth in early 2026, even as the broader economy continues to be supported by consumption and public investment.
