Slovenia - PricingSlovenia - Pricing
Prices for goods and services in Slovenia are lower than in Western Europe but higher than in neighboring Western Balkans countries, due primarily to the high cost of labor and lack of competition in certain sectors. Prices are generally based on free market forces, although the government controls the prices of oil, natural gas, and railway transport. As much as fifty percent of the economy is government owned or controlled, and the government may also influence the pricing policies of companies under its direct or indirect control. The price of gasoline is based on a pricing model which adjusts for global prices every two weeks.
