RGE's Q1 2010 Slovakia Outlook

Slovakia’s economy is headed for a gradual recovery this year, after an estimated 5.0% contraction in 2009. The heady days of average growth rates of over 7% from 2004 to 2008 are in the past. Weak external demand has taken a heavy toll on this highly export-oriented economy. Signs of economic stabilization in key trading partners, along with the lagged effect of monetary easing, will lend support to an economic revival. But headwinds remain. Continued labor market deterioration, the expiry of EU car subsidy programs, and expected fiscal tightening will all weigh on growth going forward.

The shape of Slovakia’s economy recovery is highly dependent on developments in Western Europe, home to its major trading partners. In a positive sign, France and Germany emerged from recession in Q2 2009, but the jury is still out on the strength of the upturn as evidenced by Germany’s stagnant growth performance in Q4 2009. In our baseline scenario, RGE foresees a protracted U-shaped recovery in Western Europe. A faster-than-expected recovery there poses an upside risk to Slovakian growth, while the possibility of a double-dip recession poses a downside risk.

Read the Q1 2010 Slovakia Outlook.
