A foreign inward affiliate is an enterprise resident in Slovenia over which an institutional unit that is not a resident in Slovenia has control. Controlling country means the resident country of the ultimate owner that can be a legal entity or a natural person.
Out of 194,940 active enterprises operating in 2022 in Slovenia in NACE sections B to S, except O and S94, 7,644 or 3.9% were foreign affiliates.
… but economic importance high
In 2022, foreign inward affiliates contributed more than a quarter (28.2%) to the total value added generated in Slovenia, which indicates the success of their operations. They also employed more than a quarter (26.8%) of all employees and generated more than a quarter of all gross investments (27.5%). Turnover of foreign inward affiliates accounted for almost a third of total turnover in Slovenia (31.0%).
More than a third of all foreign inward affiliates in Slovenia were under the control of Italy, Serbia, Austria and the Russian Federation
In 2022, foreign inward affiliates were controlled by 107 different countries, mostly (90%) by European countries.

In case of foreign control, there are strong links between neighbouring countries and it is obvious in many cases that enterprises invest first in markets close to them, either geographically, culturally or linguistically. Among foreign inward affiliates in Slovenia, the most numerous (more than half) were the affiliates of Italy, Serbia, Austria, the Russian Federation, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Germany.
The most economically important were under the control of Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Those generated more than a third of total value added and almost a half of all investment generated by foreign inward affiliates.
