< Back WATCH AND LEARN Jan 13, 2026 Slovakia's fiscal collapse: a friendly warning to our Czech neighbours To our Czech friends, As the Czech Republic begins a new chapter with the Babiš administration taking office in late 2025, we publish this analysis not as political criticism, but as an honest warning about the temptation of debt-fueled populism. We write as neighbours who share 70 years of common history, a language, and a lesson learned the hard way. Slovakia was once called the 'Tatra Tiger'—the fastest-growing economy in Central Europe. Today, analysts call it the 'Lame Raccoon' —an opportunist scavenging for survival rather than building for the future. WATCH AND LEARN - click to read / download Why now? Why you? We have watched with admiration how the Czech Republic has developed since the Velvet Revolution and the peaceful separation of Czechoslovakia. Your institutions work. Your fiscal framework holds. Your investment climate remains attractive. But no country can afford to simply "consume" power. Every administration must actively work to keep pace with more dynamic neighbours—particularly Poland, which invests in productive capacity even while running high deficits. Slovakia is proof of what happens when citizens and institutions stop watching. The numbers speak for themselves: Public debt: 48% of GDP (2019) → 64% (2026) GDP growth 2026: 1.0% (lowest in V4; Czech Republic: 1.9%) Inflation 2026: 4.1% (Czech Republic: 2.1%) Deficit 2026: -4.6% of GDP (Czech Republic: -2.2%) Interest costs: €2 billion annually. In the Czech context, this fiscal burden is equivalent to 125 billion CZK—an amount exceeding the entire annual budget of your Ministry of the Interior. Slovakia now operates under the EU's Excessive Deficit Procedure—a formal warning that public finances are in dangerous disarray. WATCH AND LEARN - click to read / download What went wrong? Two decades of systematic institutional erosion. Since Robert Fico's rise to power in 2006, Slovakia has been shaped by structures that prioritise short-term political gains over long-term prosperity. Instead of investing in infrastructure and education—universal handouts. Instead of a professional state apparatus—36 state secretaries (vs. 15 under the Radičová government). Independent analysts point to significant overstaffing, though no comprehensive personnel audit has ever been conducted — itself an indictment of governance. The flagship transaction tax, introduced in April 2025, collected 40% less than expected. "The transaction tax triggers negative responses and motivates avoidance, while threatening the collection of other taxes," warns Martin Hudcovský from the Economic Institute of the Slovak Academy of Sciences. Businesses adapted instantly—netting payments, shifting liquidity abroad, consolidating transactions. The consolidation strategy rests on shaky foundations. Borrowing for consumption, not investment The contrast with Poland is telling: both countries run high deficits, but Poland borrows for investment—defence spending (over 4% of GDP), infrastructure (the CPK airport and rail hub), nuclear energy. Markets tolerate such borrowing because it builds productive capacity. Slovakia borrows for consumption. The 13th pension payment alone costs over €800 million annually. Energy subsidies covering 90% of households are politically popular but delay efficiency investments and deepen the deficit. An ever-growing share of spending goes to servicing past debts. Our wish for the Czech Republic We do not claim the Czech Republic is heading down the same path. Quite the opposite. But as Slovakia's neighbours—bound by history, language, and friendship—we feel a legitimate duty to share what we've learned: ✅ Institutions that check power ✅ Fiscal responsibility that doesn't burden future generations ✅ Investment in productive capacity, not universal handouts ✅ Vigilance—because democracy works only when you guard it We wish the new Czech administration a successful four years (2026–2029) and the Czech people good governance for decades to come. Guard your institutions. They work only as long as you watch them. Why we have standing to say this Future Slovakia Forum is an independent think tank established not merely to diagnose Slovakia's challenges, but to develop policy foundations for reform. Our members and experts are actively working to initiate expert dialogue and prepare concrete reforms for implementation. We don't only describe problems—we are committed to helping Slovakia reverse course. After nearly two decades of misgovernance, we believe its potential remains real.

< Back Healthy Future of Slovakia (FSF's Health Policy Group) on HTA Guidelines: Slovakia Must Stop Falling Behind Sep 30, 2025 Slovakia is an outlier in CEE with the slowest access to innovative medicines – FSF calls for predictability, professionalism, and systemic reform. The Future Slovakia Forum (FSF), through its expert platform Healthy Future of Slovakia , today released its official position on the Ministry of Health’s proposed HTA methodological guideline. The statement builds on yesterday’s social media announcement and highlights eight key themes where the proposed changes risk worsening access to treatment without improving fiscal stability. Slovakia already lags dramatically : patients wait on average 797 days for new medicines (vs. ~356 days CEE average, 578 EU), with only 27% of innovations available (vs. 46% EU). This extreme delay makes Slovakia an outlier even in the CEE region . Technocratic tightening without vision : new HTA rules add barriers instead of improving predictability and cost-effectiveness. Reform 2022 works – but implementation fails : pharmaceutical spending is the most efficiently managed budget item, yet innovation access is blocked by unprofessional processes. Financial paradox : medicines account for less than 20% of healthcare spending and their share is decreasing, yet overall costs keep rising due to inefficiencies and delayed prevention and treatment. FSF calls for: - Professionalization over bureaucratization – modern HTA methods, qualified teams, transparent processes. - Systemic approach – multikriteriálne hodnotenie (MCDA), managed entry agreements (MEA), real-world evidence (RWE). - Measurable goals by 2029: time-to-access ≤ 530 days, availability ≥ 40%. “Every Slovak citizen may tomorrow need treatment that, under current rules, won’t be available. Pharmaceutical policy is not a technocratic exercise – it is an investment in healthier ageing, fiscal sustainability, and economic growth,” the FSF statement concludes.

< Back EXPERT DISCUSSION II. - All facts (instead of guesses) REVEALED. Where does Slovakia belong? Mar 12, 2025 What the Data Really Says About Slovakia’s Place Between East and West – Final survey results and expert insights reveal public contradictions and strategic confusion in times of growing geopolitical pressure. This follow-up expert discussion, organized by the Future Slovakia Forum, took place on March 12, 2025, and presented the final findings from a public opinion survey conducted in cooperation with the FOCUS agency. It explored how Slovak citizens perceive their country’s place in the world, particularly in relation to NATO, the EU, neutrality, and support for Ukraine. The debate featured sharp commentary from experts including sociologist Michal Vašečka, former Minister of Foreign Affairs Miroslav Wlachovský, and moderator Juraj Petrovič. They addressed the growing gap between Slovakia’s declared pro-Western orientation and the public’s reluctance to support the responsibilities that come with it. Survey results revealed several key paradoxes: While 70.6% of Slovaks support NATO membership, nearly 50% simultaneously favor neutrality. A majority support humanitarian aid to Ukraine, but military aid remains unpopular. Over half of respondents would accept a peace deal allowing Russia to keep part of Ukrainian territory. A substantial share of voters sees the U.S. as a threat, reflecting the impact of disinformation. The event concluded with a strong call for political leadership, civic education, and strategic communication to ensure Slovakia remains a confident, democratic member of the West. This panel builds on the first discussion (March 6, 2025) and completes the publication of all key data from the March survey, revealing 13 questions in total.
