NUTS-3 SI037 · Slovenia
Jugovzhodna Slovenija
Export region data (CSV)Jugovzhodna Slovenija generates €4.3bn of GDP across 148.7k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 39.4/100 sits in the lower tier of EU regions, led by economic growth and livability. Its economy has grown +5.1%/yr over five years and cooling, with the employment rate up 2.6pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for clean environment (50.5th EU percentile) and weakest for digital connectivity (11th).
