FX.co ★ Slovakia Business Morale Highest in 3 Months

In May 2025, Slovakia's industrial confidence indicator increased by 0.7 points, reaching -4.0, up from -4.7 in the preceding month. This represents the most favorable level since February 2025, primarily driven by a reduction in inventories of finished products (remaining stable at 0 from a previous 7), notably within the domains of electrical equipment manufacturing (-2 compared to 5) and repair and installation (-7 versus 2). Moreover, there was an improvement in the current evaluations of production levels (rising to 33 from 31), with employment projections turning positive (increasing to 1 from -3). Conversely, there was a slight decline in sentiment regarding export orders, which became more pessimistic (-13 from -12), and there was a decrease in optimism about forthcoming production prospects (declining to 3 from 8).
