Slovenia’s seasonally adjusted manufacturing business tendency indicator improved to -4 in June 2026 from -5 in May, marking the least pessimistic reading since January. The improvement was supported by a slightly stronger assessment of current production (4 vs 3 in May), higher employment expectations (7 vs 6), and a modest improvement in total orders assessments (-17 vs -19). Production expectations remained unchanged at 6, as did the labour hoarding indicator at 8, while stocks of finished goods declined to 2 from 3, pointing to lower inventory accumulation. Selling price expectations also fell to 13 from 21. On the other hand, the indicator for total order books deteriorated slightly to -21 from -20, while the gauge for uncertainty edged up to 33 from 32. Outside manufacturing, sentiment weakened in retail trade, construction, and services, though confidence in all three sectors remained above their long-term averages.
