### Summary and core finding
- The spike in Slovenian inflation in 2007–08 was investigated to determine the role of supply factors and demand-side effects in explaining the surge.
- The paper concludes that the spike in Slovenian inflation in 2007–08 was a consequence of cost-push and demand-pull factors.
- Supply-side factors, including the spike in commodity prices, and demand-pull factors related to the business cycle, explained approximately two-thirds of the surge.

### Supply-side analysis (as described)
- Cost-push factors identified included a spike in commodity prices.
- Supply-side contributors are presented as a primary component of the inflation surge alongside demand-side effects.

### Demand-side analysis (as described)
- Demand-pull factors related to the business cycle contributed significantly to the inflation surge.
- Demand-side effects combined with supply-side factors account for approximately two-thirds of the overall increase in inflation.
