Dun & Bradstreet: Higher Imports Slow Down GDP Growth

Ljubljana, 5 February - SLOVENIA/DUN&BRADSTREET
Slovenia remained the highest rated CEE country in a Dun & Bradstreet risk indicator scale published in the February issue of the International Risk & Payment magazine. The agency noted, however, that although the outlook for Slovenia's risk environment remains encouraging some worrying trends are beginning to emerge on the economic front. Specifically, excessive rise in imports was said to have slowed down GDP growth and weakened the current account balance of payments.
