31. marca 2026 11:26
Bratislava, 31 March (TASR) - Slovakia's economy should grow by only 0.5 percent this year, while inflation should reach 3.9 percent, according to the latest spring prognosis published by Slovakia's central bank (NBS) on Tuesday.
The outlook is being worsened by the current conflict in Iran and the Middle East. If it lasts longer than a few weeks and has a greater negative impact on the global economy, developments in Slovakia will be even worse. The economy could contract slightly and inflation could rise over the longer term to levels of around 6 percent, stated NBS.
NOTE: This story will be extended.
