(ANSA) - LJUBLJANA - Dejan Zidan , Slovenian minister for agriculture and environment, who is also the head of government coordination in the fight against underground economy, said in an interview with the Slovenian news agency STA, that interventions against unofficial economy planned by the government in 2014 should bring 200 million euros into state coffers. According to OECD data, underground economy in Slovenia is 24% of GDP, that is 8.4 billion euros. The percentage in Slovenia is 6 points higher than the EU average. Each billion of informal economy means a 100 million loss for state coffers, Zidan explained.
