Slovakia's consumer confidence indicator rose to -27.3 in June 2026 from a more than three-year low of -28.3 in the previous month.

It marked the highest level since February, mainly driven by less pessimistic expectations regarding households' future financial situation (-11.3 vs -13.4 in May) and a more favorable assessment of their past financial situation (-15.1 vs -17.2).

Consumers were also less negative about the country's future economic outlook (-42.4 vs -44.0), although their assessment of the past economic situation deteriorated slightly (-54.7 vs -53.6).

Expectations for unemployment improved (36.2 vs 36.6), while expectations for household savings were marginally less negative (-19.1 vs -19.3).

On the inflation front, perceptions of past price growth eased (42.4 vs 45.1), while inflation expectations also softened notably (36.6 vs 40.8).
