Slovakia’s current account deficit narrowed significantly in February 2026, suggesting an improvement in the country’s external balance early in the year. According to the latest data updated on 17 April 2026, the current account shortfall decreased to -398.0 million euros, compared with a deficit of -731.0 million euros in January 2026.
The marked month‑on‑month improvement points to a reduced gap between what Slovakia earns and spends in its transactions with the rest of the world. While details behind the shift were not provided, the February figures indicate a notable easing in external imbalances after a weak start to the year. Investors and policymakers will be watching upcoming releases closely to see whether this narrowing deficit proves to be the start of a more sustained trend in Slovakia’s current account position.
