Weekly Review of Slovenian Business & Economy from 6 to 12 Dec

Ljubljana, 14 January - The euro has taken a firm hold in retail, as only a fraction of cash payments were still being made in Slovenian tolars this week. This was confirmed by the European Commission, which said in its report on Friday that the switch to the euro in Slovenia had been successful. Meanwhile, the Slovenian Statistics Office confirmed what consumers have been complaining about for days: "unusual" price increases at bars and restaurants around the country. In business news, the supervisory board of Slovenia's largest bank, NLB, began overhauling the bank's management board.
