In the first half of 2013, trading on the Slovenian stock market was livelier than in the year before. Trading volumes increased by almost 6 per cent compared to the same period of last year. The growing appeal of Slovenian stocks for international investors continues, with international investors accounting for almost 50 per cent of total Prime Market turnover. Moreover, private investor activity has also been picking up. Their share in the total turnover of Prime Market stocks was 21 per cent versus 16 per cent in 2012. 

A majority of turnover is realised through Slovenian brokers who accounted for 84 per cent of the market. Turnover via remote members remains at the same level as in 2012 and amounts to 16 per cent.

There is no doubt that the positive trends observed are being driven by the expected privatization of state-owned companies and the associated market expectations.
