CEE Legal Matters
In-depth coverage of the news and newsmakers that shape Europe's emerging markets
Slovenia’s economy has demonstrated resilience and adaptability, with a projected GDP growth rate of 2.3% in 2024, up from 1.6% the previous year. Inflation has stabilized at around 2.8%, and unemployment is at a historically low rate of 3.7%.
Despite a slowdown experienced in the Greek M&A sector in 2023, primarily attributed to factors such as inflation, increased interest rates, pervasive geopolitical instabilities, and diverging valuation perspectives between sellers and buyers, the ongoing year of 2024 has seen a notable upsurge in transaction activity. This upward trend underscores the robustness and resilience of the market, which is not only recovering but is also attracting heightened attention from international investors.
