Slovenian Vehicles Market kept momentum in the 2017 with car passenger’s sales up 11% at the best in this decade. Volkswagen defended the leadership from the assault of Renault while Toyota was the fastest growing brand.

Slovenian economy in the 2017 was among the best performing in the Eurozone amid sturdy region-wide growth. Healthy private consumption, an increase in government spending, and a stellar expansion in exports drove the strong result, although it was a marginal dip from the second quarter. The strong growth momentum likely spilled over into Q4, as recent survey data showed that consumer confidence in November remained at October’s all-time high, and business confidence surged to an over 10-year high in the same month. Moreover, the fiscal deficit continued to shrink in November as the government’s total revenues rose at a faster pace than its expenditures, strengthening the economy’s debt dynamics.
