Slovakia’s current account deficit showed a marked improvement at the beginning of the year, with the balance narrowing to -489.8 million euros in January 2026, from -816.8 million euros in December 2025.

The latest figures indicate a significant month-on-month easing in external imbalances, though the current account remains in negative territory. The data, updated on 20 March 2026, will be closely watched by investors and policymakers as a gauge of Slovakia’s external position and potential pressures on financing and the currency.

While the underlying drivers behind the improvement were not disclosed in the release, the shift suggests some relief on the trade or income side of the balance, offering a more positive signal on Slovakia’s external accounts compared with the end of 2025.
