Introduction
Background: After centuries under foreign rule, mainly by
Hungary, the Slovaks joined with their neighbors to form the new
nation of Czechoslovakia in 1918. Following the chaos of World War
II, Czechoslovakia became a communist nation within Soviet-ruled
Eastern Europe. Soviet influence collapsed in 1989, and
Czechoslovakia once more was an independent country turning toward
the West. The Slovaks and the Czechs agreed to separate peacefully
on 1 January 1993. Slovakia has experienced more difficulty than the
Czech Republic in developing a modern market economy.

Economy
Economy--overview: Slovakia, continuing the difficult transition
from a centrally controlled economy to a modern market-oriented
economy, begins 1999 with clouds on the horizon: GDP growth is
slowing sharply; budget and current account deficits are too large;
external debt is growing uncomfortably fast; unemployment is high
and rising; corrupt insider deals persist; and demand is weakening
for Slovakia's key primary goods exports, especially as Russia and
Ukraine slump and as EU growth slows. International credit rating
agencies have downgraded Slovak debt to below investment grade. The
new government intends to address the economy's ills by giving
priority to joining the OECD and EU, cutting government wage and
infrastructure spending, boosting some taxes and regulated prices,
expanding privatization to companies formerly considered strategic,
restructuring the financial section, encouraging foreign investment,
and reenergizing the social partnership with labor and employers.
Government officials believe as long as two years may be needed
before its structural reforms improve economic performance. In 1999,
the government expects GDP growth to slow from 5% in 1998 to 2%,
inflation to rise from 6% to 10%, and unemployment to rise from less
than 14% to 15% or 16%, but hopes to bring the budget deficit down
to no more than 2% of GDP and the current account deficit down to 5%
to 6% of GDP.
