Government at a Glance 2015
Country Fact Sheetwww.oecd.org/gov/govataglance.htm
The banking sector crisis has strongly increased government deficit in 2013 and debt levels. The size of the deficit was reduced in 2014 but the underlying fiscal position remains fragile
In 2013, the general government deficit was equal to 14.6% of GDP compared to 4.2% on average in OECD countries. According to the System of National Accounts definition, general government debt has signifi-cantly increased in recent years, moving from 42.5% in 2009 to 97.5% of GDP in 2014 (+55 p.p). This is in part due to the plan launched by the Slovenian government in 2013 to recapitalise a mainly state-owned banking sector, which included important injections of cash and government securities. The size of the defi-cit significantly decreased in 2014, compared to 2013 , when the plan was launched, to 4.9% of GDP but the structural balance remains negative (-3.6%) and below OECD average (-3.1%).

Mechanisms to avoid conflicts of interest vary across branchesof the Slovenian government
Disclosure of private interests of public officials can be an effective tool, alongside other mechanisms, in managing conflict of interest. In Slovenia, public officials in the executive and judicial branch tend to have more obligations regarding asset decalarations than public officials in the legislative branch and in “at risk” areas which include tax and customs officials, procurement agents and financial authorities. Overall, public officials in Slovenia tend to have less obligations regarding asset disclosure compared to the OECD average for all branches of government and even more so in the legislative branch.

Satisfaction with public services is high, especially for the health care sector
In general, satisfaction with services in Slovenia is higher than the OECD average. In 2014, 8 Slovenians out of 10 declared that they were satisfied with their health care services, and this figure has increased in recent years. This coincides with low unmet care needs for medical examination as reported in perception based surveys (including among low income people) and below OECD average private out-of pocket medical ex-penditure as a share of final household consumption.

GOVERNMENT OUTPUTS AND OUTCOMES
Notes Fiscal balance as reported in the System of National Accounts (SNA) framework, also referred to as net lending (+) or net borrowing (-) of government, is calculated as total government revenues minus total government expenditures. Structural fiscal balance, or underlying balance, represents the fiscal balance adjusted for the state of the economic cycle (as measured by the output gap which resulted as the dif ference between actual and potential GDP) and one-off fiscal operations. Government gross debt is reported according to the SNA definition, which dif fers from the definition applied under the Maastricht Treaty. It is defined as all liabilities that require payment or payments of interest or principal by the debtor to the creditor at a date or dates in the future. All debt instruments are liabilities, but some liabilities such as shares, equity and financial derivatives are not debt.

Government at a Glance 2015With a focus on public administration, OECD Government at a Glance 2015 provides readers with a dashboard of key indicators assembled with the
goal of contributing to the analysis and international comparison of public sector performance across OECD countries. Indicators on public finances
and employment are provided alongside composite indexes summarising aspects of public management policies, and indicators on services to
citizens in health care, education, and justice. Government at a Glance 2015 also includes indicators on key governance and public management
issues, such as regulatory management, budgeting practices and procedures, public sector integrity, public procurement and core government
results in terms of trust in institutions, income redistribution and efficiency and cost-effectiveness of governments.
