05/13/2026 - 05:32:00 (RTTNews)

(RTTNews) - The Slovakian economy grew at a slightly slower pace in the first quarter, flash data from the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic showed on Wednesday.

Gross domestic product rose an unadjusted 0.9 percent year-on-year in the March quarter, following a 1.0 percent increase in the prior quarter.

The overall growth was driven by household final consumption expenditure and a positive foreign trade balance, while investment showed a decline.

On a seasonally adjusted basis, the annual economic growth improved somewhat to 0.9 percent from 0.8 percent.

Compared to the previous quarter, GDP expanded at a stable rate of 0.2 percent in the first quarter of 2026.
