(ANSA) - LJUBLJANA, 07 MAR - The Slovenian gross domestic
product expanded in real terms by 5 per cent in 2017, the
strongest growth recorded in the country since 2007, the
national Statistical office said. New estimates indicate also a
growth of 6.2 per cent of the GDP in the last quarter of 2017 in
comparison with the same quarter of 2016. External demand was
the main driver of growth, with exports increased by 10.6% year
on year. Domestic demand grew also by 4%. The last estimates of
the Slovenian statistical office are in line with the latest

that the real GDP would increase by 4.9% in 2017. (ANSA).
