The role of each government is to ensure the long-term sustainability of public finances, to continue, upgrade and boost the country's welfare programs starting with healthcare, education, social and employment policies, and to guarantee a healthy and stimulating economic environment. This should definitely be on the priority list of the new Slovene government. The excellent economic "after crisis" recovery of Slovenia in recent years is a solid base for the implementation of structural reforms concerning labour market flexibility, encouraging innovation and boosting competition. The promotion of economic cooperation and attracting FDI can significantly contribute to the economic development necessary for further economic growth.
