Commission too Pessimistic about Slovenian Growth, Minister Says

Brussels, 8 May - Finance Minister Andrej Bajuk has labelled as too pessimistic the European Commission's projection that Slovenia's economy would expand by 4.3% in 2007. The Commission got it wrong and the number will stand at 4.7% at least, Bajuk said in Brussels on Tuesday.
