[SE07] The structure of the economy and green transition
Key message
The Slovenian economy is characterized by a high share of industry in the total created added value (25.7%, year 2022). Agriculture, forestry and fishing had the lowest share among all activities (1.9%, year 2022). Slovenia has below-average shares of gross value added in all tertiary and quaternary activities (with the exception of trade, hospitality, and transportation) compared to the EU. Data on the index of added value by activity show that information and communication technologies experienced the highest growth compared to 2015 (index = 151, year 2022). This suggests that service industries are experiencing the fastest growth. The smallest increase in the index was recorded by agriculture, forestry and fishing, where there were almost no changes since 2015. Emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG), the use of key natural resources and the resulting waste increased again in 2021, after a decrease in the COVID-19 epidemic. With faster economic activity, the trend of their lagging behind GDP growth continues, which must be accelerated in order to achieve ambitious goals.
