Slovenia’s economy expanded at a faster pace in the first quarter, official data showed on Friday.

On the expenditure side, household consumption rose 2.7%, while government spending increased 3.9%.

Gross fixed capital formation jumped 12.6%, driven by stronger investment in buildings and structures.
