Industrial production in Slovakia decreased by 0.2% year-on-year in August 2026, reversing a 2.4% increase in July. This was the fifth drop since the beginning of the year, although it was the mildest contraction recorded so far. Lower output was mainly due a sharper decline in the manufacture of computer, electronic, and optical products (-47.3% vs -41.0% in July) as well as a renewed drop in transport equipment (-3.3% vs 9.5%), which was affected by a shift in the holiday schedule of a major motor vehicle manufacturer that operated for one fewer week than in August 2025. These declines were partly offset by increases in electricity and gas supply (7.2%) and the manufacture of basic metals (6.6%) and machinery and equipment (9.5%). On a seasonally adjusted monthly basis, industrial production fell by 0.6% in August. In the first eight months of 2026, industrial output was 0.3% lower than in the same period last year. source: Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic
