Slovenian economic growth and construction activity

Overview

Slovenia’s economy experienced significant acceleration in the second quarter of 2026, with GDP growing by 5% compared to the previous quarter. This expansion was fueled by strong domestic demand, a 13.2% increase in gross fixed capital formation, and a 3.4% rise in household consumption. The construction sector emerged as a primary driver, with value added increasing by 15.9%.

Subsequent data indicates continued activity within the construction sector. In July, building permits issued rose by 20% compared to the previous month, including a 4% increase in residential permits and a 34% increase in non-residential permits. However, costs have also risen; construction service prices increased by 1.7% in the second quarter compared to the first, with annual price growth for building construction reaching 10.4%.
