NUTS-3 SI036 · Slovenia
Posavska
Posavska generates €2.0bn of GDP across 76k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 36.7/100 sits in the lower tier of EU regions, led by economic growth and livability. Its economy has grown +8.3%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 2.6pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for safety (69th EU percentile) and weakest for digital connectivity (14.5th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Persistent laggard22 → 26 EU percentile since 1995 (+4 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.
