The Central Slovenia Statistical Region (Slovene: Osrednjeslovenska statistična regija) is a statistical region in central Slovenia. This is the central and most densely populated statistical region in Slovenia; it has the largest number of inhabitants and is the second-largest in terms of territory. The region has a central position and good traffic connections in all directions, and the country’s capital is located in it. As the economically most developed region, in 2012 it generated 27 times more GDP than the Central Sava Statistical Region, or more than a third of the national GDP. In 2012 the region recorded 98 new companies per 10,000 population (the highest number of new companies was recorded in the Coastal–Karst Statistical Region; namely, 113 per 10,000 population). At the same time, this region had one of the highest five-year survival rates of new companies (55%). According to the labour migration index (126.0), this region was very labour oriented. That region's importance for employment is also confirmed by the fact that the number of jobs in the region is much larger than the number of employed persons living in it.
