The finance ministry submitted its Draft Budgetary Plan for 2026 to the European Commission for review as part of the EU’s annual budget coordination process.
The Slovak Republic’s Ministry of Finance has announced, on 15 October 2025, that it has submitted the country’s Draft Budgetary Plan for 2026 to the European Commission for review.
The 2026 draft budget focuses on fiscal consolidation, anticipated economic growth, and sound financial policies. A key objective is to reduce the public finance deficit to 4.1% of GDP by 2026, reflecting efforts to strengthen the country’s financial stability.
This annual process is standard for EU member states using the euro, allowing the Commission to evaluate whether national budgets align with EU economic coordination and regulatory requirements.
Earlier, the Slovak Republic’s National Council gave its approval to the third consolidation of public finances on 24 September 2025.
