Please note that the surplus was generated in the first quarter of the year and not in 2022, as incorrectly stated in the title. The corrected news item follows below.

Ljubljana, 30 June - In the first quarter of the year, the Slovenian economy generated a EUR 750 million surplus in transactions with foreign countries, which accounts for 5% of GDP. The surplus comes after a deficit was recorded last year for the first time in a decade due to high prices of energy and raw material and interruptions in the supply chains.
