Slovenia, once the economic poster child of the new EU countries, now finds itself in economic and political chaos.
The government says Slovenia can save itself.
But, there is little investment, and many companies have gone bankrupt.
Disaffected people took to the streets last autumn, leading to the resignation of the government.
The country's elite stands accused of cronyism.
State owned banks have made disastrous loans, leading to 7 billion euros of bad debt, hence a shortage of capital for the country's new entrepreneurs.
The European Union has given Slovenia two more years to put its finances in order.

An external audit of Slovenia's ailing banks show they need 4.8 billion euros to plug the holes in their balance sheets.
The central bank said the country can probably come up with that much and so will not have to ask for a eurozone bailout, which will come as a relief to the European Union.
After bailing out five eurozone countries over five years of financial turmoil, another aid package, regardless of how small, would have sown doubt about the bloc's insistence it can put the debt crisis behind it.
Banks in Slovenia are stuck with an estimated 7.9 billion
euros in bad loans after the global economic crisis crippled exporters.

http://www.euronews.com/ Slovenia, which is trying to avoid becoming the eurozone's next bailout victim, may have "significantly" misread the cost of fixing its troubled banks, according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.
But the OECD, in its latest survey of Slovenia's economic outlook, said the country is not in immediate need of rescue.
The mostly state-owned banks have seven billion euros in bad loans and the OECD recommended that those that are viable be sold and sold into private hands and those that are not should be allowed to fail.
If not Slovenia is at risk of a prolonged downturn.
The OECD said last year's estimate of the level of bad loans in the banking system was outdated and used methodology that was weak and non-transparent, so the real damage could be worse.
"Capital needs are uncertain and could in fact be significantly higher," it said.
It welcomed a plan to create a "bad bank" to take non-performing loans away from state banks but said "lack of transparency and potential political interference pose risks". It added that weak corporate governance and credit misallocation could potentially be attributed to corrupt behaviour.
The country risks falling behind in its race to catch up with Western living standards, the OECD warned, citing uncertain costs to bail out its lenders, pressure on its exports from the eurozone crisis, and a rise in lending costs after Cyprus's bailout.
It predicted a second straight year of economic contraction, by 2.1 percent. It also noted public debt had more than doubled to 47 percent of gross domestic product since 2008 and said that could rise to 100 percent by 2025 with no new reforms.
"Against this difficult background and with a possible further deterioration in the international environment, Slovenia faces risks of a prolonged downturn and constrained access to financial markets," the OECD said.
It recommended Ljubljana increase the powers of the competition office, gradually raise the pension age, wean wealthier citizens off family benefits, cut unemployment and other benefits and improve efficiency in education and healthcare.

Germany: Merkel prescribes privatisation for Slovenia's economic ills
Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel welcomed the Prime Minister of Slovenia, Alenka Bratusek, for an inaugral visit with military honours in Berlin on Friday before the two gave a press conference together to discuss bilateral economic relations including privatisation, austerity and unemployment.
Both Merkel and Bratusek stressed that Slovenia was aware of its difficulties and on the right path towards improving them.
"I have the impression that Slovenia values above all else entering a stable course that for one thing overcomes the uncertainty of international investors and builds trust through that. Growth can arise from out of trust and growth is what is required for employment, especially for young people," said Merkel.
Merkel, who will be at the centre of a general election in September, is known for espousing austerity measures through the EU and especially in countries suffering from economic woes. Slovenia is considered one of the economically weaker eurozone members at the time, with some speculating it could become the next country to ask for aid from the European Stability Mechanism. Privatisation along with public financing and bank restructuring are seen as the best ways to improve the sitatuation.
German is very interested in the privatisation of Solvenia, with German being one of the biggest investors in Slovenia. Merkel said: "I support completely the coalition's path when it decided for privatisation. One the one hand privatisation brings money to households, but even more important is naturally that a dynamic economic sitation can occur. We have always seen that, also in Germany when we became privatised."
During her time in Berlin, Bratusek will also visit a business forum involving German and Slovenian startups.

http://www.euronews.com/ It was not unexpected - late on Friday the Fitch ratings agency downgraded Slovenia's long-term foreign currency rating to BBB + from A minus.
It also warned there could be more cuts in the future on worries over the state of the country's shaky banking sector which might mean it is the next eurozone nation to have to ask for a bailout.
The Slovenian government is pressing ahead with an overhaul of the ailing banks in a bid to avoid that.
Standard & Poor's rates the country A-minus with a stable outlook. Moody's Investors Service has it at Ba1 with a negative outlook.
Fitch said the outlook remains negative due to the declining economic and fiscal outlook.
Slovenia's gross domestic product (GDP) is expected to contract by two percent this year and 0.3 percent next year, which would make one of only two countries in the eurozone remain in recession in 2014, Fitch said.
The budget deficit (excluding the costs of recapitalisation of its banks) should be five percent of GDP this year. It was four percent last year.

http://www.euronews.com/ Slovenia has decided to bite the bullet to avoid a bailout as its budget deficit soars this year to 7.8 percent and it struggles to pay its bills.
The decision has been made to sell off 15 of the country's biggest companies, raise VAT, slash the budget deficit by more than half by next year, and strike a public sector pay deal.
The company sell-off includes the national airline and the capital's airport, the second-biggest bank, and the biggest telecoms operator.
Cutting public spending will be crucial to meeting these targets which, said the prime minister, were to ensure Slovenia remained "a sovereign state".

Slovenia today is a developed country that enjoys prosperity and stability, as well as a GDP per capita at 88% of the EU27 average. It was the first new member of the European Union to adopt euro as a currency in January 2007, and it has been member of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development since 2010.
Slovenia has a highly educated workforce, well-developed infrastructure, and is situated at a major transport crossroad. On the other side, the level of foreign direct investment is one of the lowest, and the Slovenian economy has been severely hurt by the European economic crisis, started in late 2000s. Almost two thirds of people are employed in services.
Although it comprised only about one-eleventh of Yugoslavia's total population, it was the most productive of the Yugoslav republics, accounting for one-fifth of its GDP and one-third of its exports. It thus gained independence in 1991 with an already relatively prosperous economy and strong market ties to the West.
Since that time, it has pursued diversification of its trade with the West and integration into Western and transatlantic institutions vigorously. Slovenia is a founding member of the World Trade Organization, joined CEFTA in 1996, and joined the European Union on 1 May 2004. In June 2004 it joined the European Exchange Rate Mechanism. The euro was introduced at the beginning of 2007 and circulated alongside the tolar until 14 January 2007. Slovenia also participates in SECI (Southeast European Cooperation Initiative), as well as in the Central European Initiative, the Royaumont Process, and the Black Sea Economic Council.

Slovenia (
i/sloʊˈviːniə/ sloh-VEE-nee-ə, Slovene: Slovenija), officially the Republic of Slovenia (Republika Slovenija, 
[reˈpublika sloˈveːnija]) is a Slavic nation state, situated in South-Central Europe, at the crossroad of main European cultural and trade routes. It borders Italy to the west, Austria to the north, Croatia to the south and southeast, and Hungary to the northeast. It covers 20,273 square kilometres (7,827 sq mi) and has a population of 2.05 million. It is a parliamentary republic, member of the European Union and NATO. Relative to its geography, history, economy, culture, and language, it is a very diverse country distinguished by a transitional character. It is characterised by a high economic and social level. Its capital and largest city is Ljubljana.
The territory of Slovenia is mainly hilly or mountainous and has an exceptionally high landscape and biological diversity and a mosaic structure, which are a result of natural attributes and the long-lasting presence of humans. Four major European geographic units interweave here: the Alps, the Dinaric Alps, the Mediterranean, with a small portion of coastline along the Adriatic Sea, and the Pannonian Plain. The climate is temperate and significantly influenced by the variety of territory, with a strong interaction of the continental climate, the sub-Mediterranean climate and Alpine climate across most of the country. The country is one of the water-richest in Europe, with a dense river network, a rich aquifer system, and significant karstic underground watercourses. Over half of the territory is covered by forest.

OECD warns on Slovenian banks - economy
http://www.euronews.com/ Slovenia, which is trying to avoid becoming the eurozone's next bailout victim, may have "significantly" misread the cost of fixing its troubled banks, according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. But the OECD, in its latest survey of Slovenia's economic outlook, said the country is not in immediate need of rescue. The mostly state-owned banks have seven billion euros in bad loans and the OECD recommended that those that are viable be sold and sold into private hands and those that are not should be allowed to fail. If not Slovenia is at risk of a prolonged downturn. The OECD said last year's estimate of the level of bad loans in the banking system was outdated and used methodology that was weak and non-transparent, so the real da... -

Slovenia's shaky banks bring a downgrade from Fitch - economy
http://www.euronews.com/ It was not unexpected - late on Friday the Fitch ratings agency downgraded Slovenia's long-term foreign currency rating to BBB + from A minus. It also warned there could be more cuts in the future on worries over the state of the country's shaky banking sector which might mean it is the next eurozone nation to have to ask for a bailout. The Slovenian government is pressing ahead with an overhaul of the ailing banks in a bid to avoid that. Standard & Poor's rates the country A-minus with a stable outlook. Moody's Investors Service has it at Ba1 with a negative outlook. Fitch said the outlook remains negative due to the declining economic and fiscal outlook. Slovenia's gross domestic product (GDP) is expected to contract by two percent this year and 0.3 percent... -
Slovenia gets tough on budget deficit with mass sell-off - economy
http://www.euronews.com/ Slovenia has decided to bite the bullet to avoid a bailout as its budget deficit soars this year to 7.8 percent and it struggles to pay its bills. The decision has been made to sell off 15 of the country's biggest companies, raise VAT, slash the budget deficit by more than half by next year, and strike a public sector pay deal. The company sell-off includes the national airline and the capital's airport, the second-biggest bank, and the biggest telecoms operator. Cutting public spending will be crucial to meeting these targets which, said the prime minister, were to ensure Slovenia remained "a sovereign state".

Slovenia, once the economic poster child of the new EU countries, now finds itself in economic and political chaos.
The government says Slovenia can save itself.
But, there is little investment, and many companies have gone bankrupt.
Disaffected people took to the streets last autumn, leading to the resignation of the government.
The country's elite stands accused of cronyism.
State owned banks have made disastrous loans, leading to 7 billion euros of bad debt, hence a shortage of capital for the country's new entrepreneurs.
The European Union has given Slovenia two more years to put its finances in order.

An external audit of Slovenia's ailing banks show they need 4.8 billion euros to plug the holes in their balance sheets.
The central bank said the country can probably come up with that much and so will not have to ask for a eurozone bailout, which will come as a relief to the European Union.
After bailing out five eurozone countries over five years of financial turmoil, another aid package, regardless of how small, would have sown doubt about the bloc's insistence it can put the debt crisis behind it.
Banks in Slovenia are stuck with an estimated 7.9 billion
euros in bad loans after the global economic crisis crippled exporters.

http://www.euronews.com/ Slovenia, which is trying to avoid becoming the eurozone's next bailout victim, may have "significantly" misread the cost of fixing its troubled banks, according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.
But the OECD, in its latest survey of Slovenia's economic outlook, said the country is not in immediate need of rescue.
The mostly state-owned banks have seven billion euros in bad loans and the OECD recommended that those that are viable be sold and sold into private hands and those that are not should be allowed to fail.
If not Slovenia is at risk of a prolonged downturn.
The OECD said last year's estimate of the level of bad loans in the banking system was outdated and used methodology that was weak and non-transparent, so the real damage could be worse.
"Capital needs are uncertain and could in fact be significantly higher," it said.
It welcomed a plan to create a "bad bank" to take non-performing loans away from state banks but said "lack of transparency and potential political interference pose risks". It added that weak corporate governance and credit misallocation could potentially be attributed to corrupt behaviour.
The country risks falling behind in its race to catch up with Western living standards, the OECD warned, citing uncertain costs to bail out its lenders, pressure on its exports from the eurozone crisis, and a rise in lending costs after Cyprus's bailout.
It predicted a second straight year of economic contraction, by 2.1 percent. It also noted public debt had more than doubled to 47 percent of gross domestic product since 2008 and said that could rise to 100 percent by 2025 with no new reforms.
"Against this difficult background and with a possible further deterioration in the international environment, Slovenia faces risks of a prolonged downturn and constrained access to financial markets," the OECD said.
It recommended Ljubljana increase the powers of the competition office, gradually raise the pension age, wean wealthier citizens off family benefits, cut unemployment and other benefits and improve efficiency in education and healthcare.

Germany: Merkel prescribes privatisation for Slovenia's economic ills
Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel welcomed the Prime Minister of Slovenia, Alenka Bratusek, for an inaugral visit with military honours in Berlin on Friday before the two gave a press conference together to discuss bilateral economic relations including privatisation, austerity and unemployment.
Both Merkel and Bratusek stressed that Slovenia was aware of its difficulties and on the right path towards improving them.
"I have the impression that Slovenia values above all else entering a stable course that for one thing overcomes the uncertainty of international investors and builds trust through that. Growth can arise from out of trust and growth is what is required for employment, especially for young people," said Merkel.
Merkel, who will be at the centre of a general election in September, is known for espousing austerity measures through the EU and especially in countries suffering from economic woes. Slovenia is considered one of the economically weaker eurozone members at the time, with some speculating it could become the next country to ask for aid from the European Stability Mechanism. Privatisation along with public financing and bank restructuring are seen as the best ways to improve the sitatuation.
German is very interested in the privatisation of Solvenia, with German being one of the biggest investors in Slovenia. Merkel said: "I support completely the coalition's path when it decided for privatisation. One the one hand privatisation brings money to households, but even more important is naturally that a dynamic economic sitation can occur. We have always seen that, also in Germany when we became privatised."
During her time in Berlin, Bratusek will also visit a business forum involving German and Slovenian startups.

http://www.euronews.com/ It was not unexpected - late on Friday the Fitch ratings agency downgraded Slovenia's long-term foreign currency rating to BBB + from A minus.
It also warned there could be more cuts in the future on worries over the state of the country's shaky banking sector which might mean it is the next eurozone nation to have to ask for a bailout.
The Slovenian government is pressing ahead with an overhaul of the ailing banks in a bid to avoid that.
Standard & Poor's rates the country A-minus with a stable outlook. Moody's Investors Service has it at Ba1 with a negative outlook.
Fitch said the outlook remains negative due to the declining economic and fiscal outlook.
Slovenia's gross domestic product (GDP) is expected to contract by two percent this year and 0.3 percent next year, which would make one of only two countries in the eurozone remain in recession in 2014, Fitch said.
The budget deficit (excluding the costs of recapitalisation of its banks) should be five percent of GDP this year. It was four percent last year.
