The fortunes of the Slovenian construction industry have finally taken a positive turn after five years of contraction. According to 9M14 construction indicators from the Statistical Office of the Republic of Slovenia the construction sector grew 40% year-on-year. We're forecasting the Slovenian economy will have moved out of recession in 2014 to post 2.0% growth.

Nonetheless we're more optimistic than we have been for the last few years and believe infrastructure will settle into a modest if restrained growth pattern from 2015 thanks largely to EU energy and transport funding.
