These results were based on data from the 2026 IMD World Competitiveness Yearbook. The event was organised by SPIRIT Slovenia, the Institute of Economic Research, and the Faculty of Economics at the University of Ljubljana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the IMD World Competitiveness Ranking, Slovenia attained 49th position out of 70 countries this year. Despite a three-place decrease in comparison with the previous year, the results demonstrate that its competitive position within the broader European context remains relatively stable, a phenomenon that is reflected in the rankings of the majority of EU member states, which also experienced a decline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the presentation, the results were discussed by Sonja Ur\u0161i\u010d, M.A., from the Institute of Economic Research, and Mateja Drnov\u0161ek, Ph.D., full professor at the Faculty of Economics, University of Ljubljana. They emphasized that Slovenia retains significant competitive advantages in the areas of international trade, security, low income inequality, and the quality of human capital. At the same time, the results highlight the need for measures to increase productivity, improve institutional efficiency, strengthen the innovation environment, and attract and develop talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Institute for Economic Research participates in the IMD World Competitiveness Ranking as the Slovenian partner institute, in collaboration with the Faculty of Economics at the University of Ljubljana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a4ea3a4c0d17&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a4ea3a4c0d17\" class=\"wp-block-image size-medium wp-lightbox-container\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ier.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image00004-300x225.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11117\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ier.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image00004-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.ier.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image00004-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ier.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image00004-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.ier.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image00004-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ier.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image00004-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.ier.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image00004-16x12.jpeg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Na sede\u017eu Javne agencije SPIRIT Slovenija je 17. junija 2026 potekala predstavitev rezultatov konkuren\u010dnosti Slovenije na podlagi podatkov iz Svetovnega letopisa konkuren\u010dnosti IMD 2026. Dogodek so pripravili SPIRIT Slovenija, In\u0161titut za ekonomska raziskovanja in Ekonomska fakulteta Univerze v Ljubljani. Slovenija se je na leto\u0161nji lestvici svetovne konkuren\u010dnosti IMD uvrstila na 49. mesto med 70 dr\u017eavami. \u010ceprav se je v primerjavi z lanskim letom uvrstila tri mesta ni\u017eje, rezultati ka\u017eejo, da njen konkuren\u010dni polo\u017eaj v \u0161ir\u0161em evropskem kontekstu ostaja razmeroma stabilen, saj je svojo uvrstitev poslab\u0161ala tudi ve\u010dina dr\u017eav \u010dlanic EU. Na predstavitvi sta rezultate osvetlili mag. Sonja Ur\u0161i\u010d z In\u0161tituta za ekonomska raziskovanja in red. prof. dr. Mateja Drnov\u0161ek z Ekonomske fakultete Univerze v Ljubljani. Izpostavili sta, da Slovenija ohranja pomembne konkuren\u010dne prednosti na podro\u010djih mednarodne trgovine, varnosti, nizke dohodkovne neenakosti ter kakovosti \u010dlove\u0161kega kapitala. Hkrati rezultati opozarjajo na potrebo po ukrepih za pove\u010danje produktivnosti, izbolj\u0161anje institucionalne u\u010dinkovitosti, krepitev inovacijskega okolja ter privabljanje in razvoj talentov. In\u0161titut za ekonomska raziskovanja pri raziskavi IMD World Competitiveness Ranking sodeluje kot slovenski partnerski in\u0161titut skupaj z Ekonomsko fakulteto Univerze v Ljubljani.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11116,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11115","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-novice"],"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-07-15 19:23:16","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ier.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11115","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ier.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ier.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ier.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ier.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11115"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.ier.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11115\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11119,"href":"https:\/\/www.ier.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11115\/revisions\/11119"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ier.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11116"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ier.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11115"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ier.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11115"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ier.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11115"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
