The one that got away
Article Abstract:
Slovenia was the most industrialized of the Yugoslav republics, and became independent in 1991. There are two million inhabitants and the relatively high living standards before independence left leeway for austerity moves to foster long-term development. Unemployment is at 10% but the informal sector accounts for some 30% of the economy. Slovenia is seeking to join the European Union (EU) and has achieved as much as many EU members in terms of preparing for monetary union.

Slovenia's silver lining
Article Abstract:
Slovenia separated from Yugoslavia in 1991 and plans to join the European Union (EU). Wages are rising and gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 5% during 1994, with tourism earnings and exports up by 5% in 1995. The Slovenian tolar is stable against the German mark. Slovenia has had to find new markets following an embargo against Serbia. Exports were up by 12% in 1994 and inflation fell to 18% in 1994 compared with over 100% in 1991, and is estimated at 12% for 1995.
