NUTS-3 SI034 · Slovenia
Savinjska
Savinjska generates €7.1bn of GDP across 262.8k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 45.4/100 is mid-table of EU regions, led by economic growth and economic scale. Its economy has grown +6.0%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 2.6pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for safety (76.3th EU percentile) and weakest for clean environment (11th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Persistent laggard23 → 29 EU percentile since 1995 (+6 ranks)
Yearly EU-wide percentile of real GDP per head (ARDECO regional accounts, constant 2020 prices, derived over population). 50 = the EU median that year; percentiles are scale-free, so decades are directly comparable. See the backtest for what long-run prosperity ranks do — and don't — anticipate.
