Budgeting in Slovenia.

- Abstract
The article presents information on the Slovenian budget system. Slovenia is a relatively small country. It has about 2 million inhabitants and thus belongs with Cyprus, Estonia, Malta and Luxembourg as the countries of the European Union with less than 2 million inhabitants. Given its size, and the absence of any intermediate level of government between the central State and the municipalities, its public sector is relatively large. Public expenditure in Slovenia is firmly under control. Thanks to a well-designed budget procedure with strong institutional barriers against runaway programme expansion and overspending, deficits have remained low, even in the recent years of relatively modest real economic growth since 2000.
