Central Bank Projects 1.8% Contraction for 2012

Ljubljana, 1 October - The Slovenian economy is expected to contract by 1.8% this year and a further 0.7% in 2013 before rebounding, the central bank forecast on Monday. This is a significant downgrade from its spring projections, when it forecast that the economy will shrink by 1.2% this year and return to growth in 2013.
