Abstract

Slovenija je nakon osamostaljenja svrstana među najrazvijenije tranzicijske zemlje s velikim potencijalom za napredak, ali s jednim kroničnim problemom - inflacijom. Devedesete godine 20. stoljeća bile su za Sloveniju izrazito ekonomski nestabilne. Brojne, ali nedostatne reforme i neučinkovita ekonomska politika rezultirale su relativno sporim procesom dezinflacije zbog kojeg je Slovenija izgubila vrlo dobru početnu poziciju u usporedbi s ostalim tranzicijskim zemljama. Međutim, zaokretom prema eurointegracijama na prijelazu tisućljeća, promjenama u ekonomskoj politici i intenzivnijim provođenjem reformi, Slovenija uspijeva zadovoljiti uvjete nadležnih tijela te sredinom 2004. godine pristupiti u Europsku uniju i ERM 2, a samo dvije godine i pol godine nakon toga, 1.1.2007. "big bang" scenarijem i u eurozonu. Slovenija kratkoročno vrlo dobro koristi udruženje u monetarnu uniju s najrazvijenijim zemljama Europe i bilježi rast u gotovo svim relevantnim pokazateljima. Međutim, u dugoročnoj perspektivi, ključna riječ koja opisuje slovenske rezultate jest - stagnacija. U većini pokazatelja konvergencije s najrazvijenijim zemljama Unije Slovenija je u 10 godišnjem periodu stagnirala što, unatoč vrlo dobroj početnoj poziciji pri ulasku u eurozonu, svakako ne može biti zadovoljavajuće. S obzirom na visok rast vanjskotrgovinske razmjene i značajan izvozni kapacitet u dosadašnjem periodu članstva u eurozoni, Slovenija ima potencijal u doglednom vremenu dodatno konvergirati najrazvijenijim zemljama Europske unije.

Abstract (english)

Following its independence, Slovenia was placed amongst the most developed transitional countries with a huge potential for progress. However, it had one chronic problem – inflation. The 1990s were economically exceptionally unstable for Slovenia. Numerous insufficient reforms and ineffective economic policies resulted in a relatively slow process of disinflation through which Slovenia lost its very good position, compared with other countries in transition. However, by turning towards European integration at the threshold of the new millenium, making changes in economic policies and an intense implementation of reform, Slovenia successfully met the conditions of the governing bodies and, in mid 2004, entered the European Union and the ERM 2. Only two and a half years later, on the 1st January 2007, it joined the Eurozone via the 'big bang' scenario. Slovenia made good short-term use of its membership of this monetary union with the most developed countries of Europe and saw growth in almost all relevant economic indicators. However, in the long-term perspective, the key word describing the Slovenian results is stagnation. In the majority of indicators of convergence with the most developed countries of the Union, Slovenia remained stagnant for a ten year period, despite the very good starting position at the point of entering the Eurozone. This definitively cannot be satisfactory. Taking into account the high growth of foreign trade and a significant increase of export capacity during its Eurozone membership, Slovenia has the potential to converge with the most developed countries of the European Union in the near future.
