The fiscal policy is deviating from the trajectory outlined in the Medium-Term Fiscal and Structural Plan for the 2025–2028 period. Despite Slovenia’s commitment to gradual consolidation, the state of public finances began to deteriorate already in 2025. According to the Fiscal Council’s projection, the general government deficit will increase further, reaching approximately 2.5% of GDP by 2028. The primary factor driving this deterioration is the change in the public sector salary system and the resulting growth in current expenditure, which will exceed projected economic growth. Such developments call for measures to address fiscal risks and ensure public finance sustainability. The budget documents, however, do not contain such measures, and without timely intervention, more severe adjustments will be required in the coming years.
