European Union Economic and Monetary Affairs Commissioner Olli Rehn praised Slovenia for taking steps to bolster the economy while saying it’s too early to know whether the nation can avoid becoming the sixth euro-area member to need a financial rescue.
“We first want to analyze the programs before commenting,” Rehn said in an interview today in Brussels. “Slovenia is intensively preparing a stability and reform program that will tackle the problems they are facing and reverse the negative trend in the economy.”
