Summary

Slovak Republic has made significant progress in institutionalizing spending reviews, having completed spending reviews covering 64 percent of total public spending since initiating the spending review project eight years ago. Despite progress, challenges remain, and important choices will need to be made going forward to enhance the budgetary impact of spending reviews. This may be done through more targeted spending reviews, a more comprehensive analysis of potential measures, strengthened coordination within the Ministry of Finance and with line ministries, as well as their better integration into the budget cycle.
