Macro - Country Economic Forecasts - Slovak Republic
Description
We have lowered our 2026 GDP growth outlook for the Slovak economy by 0.3 ppts to 1.5%. This mainly reflects the new fiscal consolidation measures, including more progressive income taxation and VAT increases. These measures are expected to weigh on already weak consumer spending and confidence, alongside elevated inflation. While capital spending is rebounding more strongly than anticipated, it is likely to be constrained by policy uncertainty in 2026.
