Productivity Report
In 2018, IMAD assumed the role of Slovenia’s national productivity board, taking on responsibility for conducting analyses of productivity and competitiveness and for preparing annual productivity reports. Thereby Slovenia is fulfilling the EU Council Recommendation of 20 September 2016 on the establishment of national productivity boards. Productivity analyses have been part of IMAD’s regular publications for many years. From 2019 to 2025, they were issued separately in the form of an annual productivity report. As of 2025, these analyses have been incorporated into the publication: Quality of Life in Slovenia – Development Report. This integration reflects the strong interconnection between productivity and development, as the two areas are intertwined and complementary to one another. The report is available in both Slovenian and English.
