Core Views: Prime Minister Robert Fico will continue to benefit from his party´s outright majority in parliament, which has eased the policy formation and implementation process. While this is positive for political stability in the short term, it does not provide much space for consensus politics, with Fico´s tax and welfare reforms likely to keep investors cautious.
The short-term economic picture has brightened as export growth remained solid amid a slowdown in regional growth, and household spending showed the first signs of a recovery.
The government will continue with its fiscal consolidation plan, with a shrinking deficit likely to buoy market sentiment. Creeping public debt will remain a concern for the authorities, however.
Major Forecast Changes We have revised up our real GDP growth forecast for 2014 and 2015 to 2.2% and 2.8% respectively, from 2.0% and 2.6% previously. This is based on strong industrial production and retails sales readings in H213 that point to a more broad based economic recovery taking hold.
Our forecast for Slovakia´s fiscal trajectory has been revised to reflect the governments updated medium-term budget objectives, which include a slower pace of deficit consolidation. While we previously saw the budget deficit falling to 2.1% of GDP by 2015, our forecast currently stands at 2.6%.
Key Risks To Outlook The risks to our short-term growth forecast are well balanced, and largely based on ongoing uncertainty over the regional economy.
With exports in 2013 representing approximately 100.1% of GDP, Slovakia´s economy is vulnerable to any shifts in external demand.
The emphasis on revenue-boosting measures to achieve significant fiscal consolidation leaves the deficit reduction programme vulnerable to weaker-than-expected growth while also threatening investment inflows.

Such a sucky way to do business. I might be able to help,but you would have to do a business proposal and get it to the World Bank. I would include all the pitfalls and possible solutions.
QUESTIONS:what does cc stand f o r?
Is the content going to be the same each day?
Are you willing to sign a confidentiality agreement?
World Bank Group 2015 ranks SK a shining 100th out of 189 countries IN THE WORLD with respect to overall tax rates, ease of filing, hours spent preparing and bureaucracy. Or in other words, Slovakia continues to be a pain in the ass to do business in for all the same reasons.
