Government Encourages Foreign Investment in Slovenia

Ljubljana, 30 June

At its final June session, the Government passed the Decree implementing the Act on Incentives for Foreign Direct Investment and Company Internationalisation.

The decree sets out the theoretical and practical background to allocating financial incentives. The purpose of allocating financial incentives is to reduce entry costs for foreign direct investments (FDIs) that create new jobs, and contribute to the transfer of knowledge and technologies, more balanced regional development and increasing synergy from linking foreign investors with Slovenian companies. Incentives are offered to help finance the cost of providing new jobs and the costs and expenses of investing in fixed assets (land with existing public utilities and infrastructure, construction and renovation of buildings). Incentives are only available for initial investments in manufacturing, research and development or the service industry, but only for internationally traded services. The size of the incentives available is set in relation to balanced regional development and the number of new jobs created. The system of incentives is set up to enable ad hoc treatment of FDIs that large or of importance to the national economy, and decisions on allocating the incentives are taken by the Government.
