Interview Named sources New plan
  • Minister Anže Logar says Slovenia plans to change its approach to business subsidies, tax policy, agency workers, housing construction and the Spirit agency.
  • He emphasizes projects with high added value and acknowledges that combining economic and labour responsibilities could create conflict.
  • Logar says the four areas under his ministry still need closer substantive integration, despite spatial constraints.

“High added value” was the phrase Anže Logar used most often in the interview. The economy, labour and sport minister says he has ambitious goals, mainly economic ones, while also overseeing labour policy.

His ministry brings employers and workers under the same roof, a combination he expects to produce conflict. Logar says that conflict should be constructive because all sides are “in the same boat.”

High added value.

· Anže LogarThe phrase recurred throughout the interview as Logar described his economic priorities.

He has identified the integration of the ministry’s four areas, the economy, labour, sport and tourism, as one of his first tasks. The areas have not yet been physically integrated because of spatial limitations, he says. Substantive integration is more important, however, and the three state secretaries complement one another well, with each bringing expertise and experience from a particular field.

Logar also announced changes involving company subsidies, tax policy, agency workers, housing construction and the Spirit agency. His stated preference is to support projects that create greater added value rather than distribute subsidies universally.

Everyone is in the same boat.
