Vizjak Promoting Slovenia's Foreign Investment Lure

Munich, 24 October

Attending the real-estate fair EXPO REAL 2006 in Munich on Tuesday, Economy Minister Andrej Vizjak took the opportunity to present the possibilities that Slovenia has to offer to investors.

Vizjak stressed that he outlined the resolution on national development projects and government documents on promoting investments and also highlighted the advantages that Slovenia can offer to foreign investors.
He enumerated stable macroeconomic environment, the fact that the country is adopting the euro, its geostrategic position and its familiarity with SE European markets as the country's key advantages.
Vizjak moreover believes that the country is also attractive due to its optimal ratio between labour costs and quality.
According to data by the Slovenian central bank, last year foreign direct investments (FDI) of German companies in Slovenia reached EUR 517.8m, which presented 8.7% of all foreign investments.
The countries topping German investments in Slovenia in 2005 were Austria (28%), Switzerland (18%), the Netherlands (10%) and France (9%).
