IMAD strives to inform the public of its work on a regular basis. In the News section you will find our responses to developments in Slovenia and internationally, our comments on key economic indicators and the main messages of our publications. IMAD’s key public events are international conferences, where we present our analyses to domestic and foreign publics. In public events, we express the key messages by presentation slides, which can also be found in the News section.
