METHODOLOGICAL NOTE

The release was updated on 25 July 2025. Corrections were made to statistical data in the table "Selected variables of structural business statistics by section of activity, Slovenia" regarding data on the year-on-year comparison of the number of employees and self-employed persons. We apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.

Data for section K – financial and insurance activities – are not available at the time of provisional data release. Therefore, in the case of a provisional state, in the release and in the SiStat Database we do not publish the section K. In the case of a provisional state, the total of structural business thus does not contain the section K.
