Marathon Hearing for Slovenia's Economy Minister Candidate

The Slovenian parliamentary committee for economy, labor, and sport experienced an extended hearing for Anže Logar, the candidate for minister of economy, labor, and sport. The session, initially scheduled for three hours, was prolonged late into the evening due to demands from opposition lawmakers. They insisted on ensuring all registered committee members had the opportunity to ask questions, a stance to which Logar expressed willingness to respond.

Logar articulated his vision for Slovenia's economic future, emphasizing the need for "constructive developmental conflict" among the economy, employees, and science. He believes such tensions, when managed properly, can be beneficial. "Conflict is not necessarily a bad thing if it is led in the right direction," he stated during the hearing.

Highlighting a key economic target, Logar declared that Slovenia must increase its value added per employee to 100,000 euros by 2040 to remain competitive on the international stage. He stressed that achieving this goal requires an annual economic growth rate of four percent.

Do leta 2040 moramo dodano vrednost na zaposlenega zvišati na 100.000 evrov, če želimo ostati v ligi prvakov. Za to potrebujemo štiriodstotno gospodarsko rast na leto.
