The v3.2 stress index is a six-axis composite of energy and food exposure, geopolitical pressure, fiscal headroom, demography and supply concentration, normalised to a 0–1 scale.
Slovenia is a small economy that imports all of its fossil fuels and draws its power from hydro and the Krško nuclear plant, shared with Croatia. It sits at the crossroads of Italian, Austrian and Croatian supply routes. Its small, isolated market and limited cereal output are its main vulnerabilities.
Alpine Slovenia is water-rich, with abundant rivers and lakes.
