Slovenia Weekly: Strength in unity

Europe’s strength is in its unity, said Prime Minister Robert Golob at a meeting in Paris attended by the representatives of several European and other countries. At the meeting aimed at exchanging views and responses on the situation in Ukraine, he also underlined the need for building up the European defence capabilities and industry. Most importantly, he called for an immediate ceasefire and urged all leaders to end the aggression and prevent further loss of life.

After last year’s successful sale of people’s bonds to the total value of EUR 261 million, Slovenia is planning another issue. Scheduled in March, its total amount will not be limited this time. The bond will again have a maturity of three-years and an interest rate of 2.75%. This is part of continued efforts to develop the capital market, disperse the savings of small investors and improve financial literacy.
