General Government Spending Review - Spending Priorities for Successful Slovakia
The review provides an analytical perspective on the structure of Slovak public spending and the outcomes achieved. It compares Slovakia's spending relative to the size of the economy for the years 2011-2020 with the countries with the highest quality of life (Smarts), those with the most improving quality of life (Tigers) and those which joined the EU together with Slovakia (EU 2004). In doing so, it also seeks to take into account demographics and other factors that influence spending levels regardless of political decisions. The aim of the review is to identify the areas where budgetary resources should be most concentrated.
