Slovenia's state asset manager, Slovenski državni holding (SDH), has demonstrated strong performance in the past year, surpassing its investment return goals. Despite a difficult economic climate, SDH achieved an 8.9% return on capital, exceeding the planned 7.1%. This success underscores the effective management of state assets and highlights the resilience of the Slovenian economy.
The return on capital of companies under SDH management was 8.9 percent last year, while the annual investment management plan projected a return of 7.1 percent.
The total book value of assets under SDH's management grew by 7% to approximately 14 billion euros. A significant portion of this growth comes from substantial dividend payouts, totaling 513.1 million euros, with the state receiving 418.2 million euros. This influx of capital is crucial for state revenue and public services.
The total book value of capital investments under the management of the Slovenian State Holding (SDH) was estimated at the end of 2025 at 14 billion euros, which is about seven percent or about one billion euros more than the previous year.
Furthermore, SDH reported a record net profit of 85.7 million euros. In a commendable display of corporate social responsibility, the entire profit from 2024, amounting to 84.7 million euros, was channeled into the fund for flood reconstruction. This commitment, along with future contributions, will see SDH provide nearly 250 million euros to aid recovery efforts by 2026. This proactive approach not only strengthens the national economy but also provides vital support during times of crisis.
Dividend payments from companies owned and managed by SDH reached 513.1 million euros last year, of which the state received 418.2 million euros.
Beyond financial performance, SDH continues to fulfill its legal obligations, including denationalization processes. The company paid out 6.5 million euros in compensation for denationalized property, demonstrating its commitment to addressing historical injustices. As we look ahead, SDH's strategic management and commitment to national welfare position it as a key player in Slovenia's economic stability and recovery.
The State Holding generated 85.7 million euros in net profit in 2025, which is the highest ever.
