The Slovak economy should grow this year at a similar pace to last year. According to the latest survey of the National Bank of Slovakia (NBS) among analysts with commercial banks in December, this year's GDP growth at constant prices should reach 3.2 percent, while the estimate for 2016 is 3.3 percent. Analysts modestly increased their economic growth forecast for 2017 by 0.1 percentage point to 3.2 percent compared to November.
