16 National system of innovation in Slovenia Figure 2.1.1: Domestic demand, investment and GDP growth Sources: SORS and Bank of Slovenia (2010: 20). After four years of accelerated growth, GDP plummeted in 2009 under the impact of the global economic crisis. As the contraction of GDP was greater than in EU as a whole, Slovenia slipped further behind the EU average to the level of 2007. The large decline in export activity (especially on German market) at the onset of the economic crisis translated into a loss in export competitiveness (a decline in market share; see also Figures SA3), as a result of insufficient technological restructuring of the economy in the period of strong economic growth and the relatively high lag behind the more advanced countries in terms of productivity (IMAD 2010). Following the large decline in demand, the growth in potential output also declined. In 2009 value-added declined most in the manufacturing sector, by 16.5 % (Figure 2.1.2). The largest decline over the entire year was recorded by the production of capital goods, at 19 %, which is a reflection of the low utilisation of production capacity in Slovenia and in the rest of the world. Value-added in construction declined by just under 16 % last year, the first fall since 2001. While the decline in the real value of construction work performed in the EU as a whole stabilised at the end of last year, the decline continued in Slovenia. The real value of construction work performed declined by just under a quarter last year, one of the largest falls in the EU. Total activity in the construction sector thus approached its level of 2006. 3 Value-added also declined significantly in the majority of service sectors in the private sector. There were very few signs of 3 Towards the end of the year the housing construction decline in year-on-year terms reached 40 % in the final quarter. The decline in the real value of construction work in housing was partly the result of a significant fall in sales on the real estate market, and partly the result of a decline related to a deterioration in liquidity at domestic construction companies.
Macroeconomic performance and framework conditions for innovation 17 recovery even at the end of 2009. The contraction in activity in the service sector is an indication of the gradual spread of the crisis from the export-oriented sectors of the economy to services. 4 Figure 2.1.2: Value added contributions to GDP growth by individual sectors Sources: SORS and Bank of Slovenia (2010: 22). Crisis disclosed passive restructuring, i.e. intensive changes in the economic structure brought about by the failure of less competitive sectors of the economy, rather than planned efforts aimed at restructuring and creation of high value-added jobs. The insufficient competitive capacity of the economy has also been a consequence of insufficient consolidation of factors relating to efficient use of knowledge and innovation in economic development (see more in chapter 3 and 4). Efforts to improve the efficiency of the state, to reduce the tax wedge on earnings, and also certain positive shifts regarding administrative burdens in previous years helped enhance the competitiveness of the economy, 4 In 2009 value-added in the sector of trade and repair of motor vehicles declined by just under 13 %. There were also sharp declines in the sectors of hotels and restaurants, transport, storage and communication, and real estate, renting and business activities, where the decline increased further at the end of the year. Among the service sectors, value-added increased last year in the sectors of financial intermediation (by 5.3 %), public administration and education (by just over 3 %), and health (by just under 2 %). The rise in value-added in the financial intermediation sector was primarily the result of high growth in earnings from activities on securities markets, while the rise in value-added in public services was primarily the result of last year’s growth in wages and employment in these sectors.
