The Institute for Strategic Solutions has recently conducted a study on the future of British-Slovene trade. One of their conclusions was that the labour productivity of UK-owned companies in Slovenia is not only outstanding and well above the Slovene average, but also outperforming other foreign-owned companies in the country. This is a good argument to keep fostering more British investment into Slovenia. Yet, investors from the UK are looking for clarity and predictability, especially when it comes to deadlines on permits necessary for their operations. This is an area where Slovenia could improve, especially in terms of red tape and transparency. We welcome the recognition of the role for privatisation in Slovenia and hope to see this matched with concrete initiatives in the near future.
