Slovakia Today, English Language Current Affairs Programme from Slovak Radio (30.4.2026 16:00)

In this programme, we take a closer look at the current state of the Slovak economy, which is expected to face a period of slow growth and increased uncertainty. We explore the key factors behind this development—from global conditions and weaker foreign demand to fiscal consolidation and its impact on households and businesses. Our guests, Tomáš Miklošovič from the Institute of Economic Research of the Slovak Academy of Sciences and Reiner Martin from the National Bank of Slovakia, explain what these trends mean for everyday life, the labour market, and investment. The programme also offers insight into possible future scenarios and the steps needed to support more stable economic growth.
