Slovenia Poverty Rate

Slovenia has consistently maintained a near-zero poverty rate since 1987, with no instances of poverty recorded over the past 28 years. In fact, its poverty rate reached its all-time peak of 0.20% in 1999, but the country has since made significant strides in poverty reduction, mirroring the trend seen in other low-poverty nations such as Malta, which also boasts a poverty rate of 0.02%. As of 2025, Slovenia's poverty rate stands at 0.00%, ranking it among the top performers globally, alongside the Russian Federation and outpacing Thailand, which reported a slight decline in poverty to -0.08%. This remarkable achievement underscores the country's robust social safety net and strong economic growth. Looking ahead, Slovenia's continued economic resilience, coupled with a stable and well-regulated labor market, may solidify its position as one of the lowest poverty-rate nations globally, provided that external economic shocks are mitigated through effective policy responses.
