Slovenia's Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows have experienced significant fluctuations over the past three decades. With a coverage of 34 years, the indicator has shown a moderate growth trend, with the latest value standing at 3.08 in 2025, ranking 90th globally. The all-time peak of 7.97 in 2002 marked a notable high point, outpacing several of its peer countries, including Moldova, which also recorded 3.08 in 2025. Conversely, the all-time trough of -0.69 in 2009 exemplifies the country's susceptibility to economic downturns. Slovenia's FDI inflows have generally trailed behind those of its peer countries, such as Peru, which recorded 3.16 in 2025. As the global economy continues to navigate the effects of the ongoing economic shifts, a sustained increase in FDI inflows could be influenced by the country's ongoing efforts to strengthen its business environment and attract foreign investment, which may in turn boost economic growth and competitiveness.
