Strengthening the capital markets

Strengthening the capital markets
Copyright: Ministry of Finance

The objective of the reform is to strengthen capital markets in Slovenia.

The reform consists of two components:

1. The Act on forms of alternative investment funds defines the types of alternative investment funds. It builds on the results of the Structural Reform Support Programme project ‘Strengthening the Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) segment’.

The government approved the Bill on forms of alternative investment funds in July 2022 and the National Assembly passed the Act the same month. The Act entered into force in August 2022.

The Act is available here.

2. The strategy for the Slovenian capital market sets out specific measures for further development, building on the results of the Structural Reform Support Programme project “Capital Market Enhancement and Development in Slovenia”. The Slovenian government adopted the 2023-2030 Strategy in March 2023 and it entered into force immediately.

The Strategy is based on three pillars: digitalization and greater presence of small and medium-sized companies (SMEs) on the capital market, expanding the scope of products with bonds, and promoting digital literacy. The measures outlined in the strategy are designed to encourage the development of existing and new innovative SMEs with high potential for sustainable growth, which could form the basis for the future Slovenian economy.

The Strategy is available here.
