The economy in Slovakia in the first quarter of this year grew by 2.4 percent says fresh data of the Statistics Office. This is the second consecutive quarter in which growth was influenced by foreign as well as local demand. The published data are a positive signal according to Finance Minister Peter Kažimír.
Bank analysts also evaluate positively the recovery of domestic demand. “The structure of growth speaks of a promising recovery in household consumption, as well as of a careful growth of investments. The economy is thus changing the growth structure and is no longer driven just by foreign demand”, said analyst for Slovenska Sporitelna Maria Valachyova.
