Slovakia: Recovery continued in 3Q09 (+1.6% q/q)

  • According to the flash estimate of the Statistical Office, real GDP increased by seasonally adjusted 1.6% q/q in 3Q09, following a downwardly revised increase by 1% in 2Q09 (previously reported at +2.2%).
  • An annual decline in GDP narrowed from -5.3% to -4.9% in line with our forecast and slightly above market expectations (average: -5.3%).
  • The GDP structure will be released only on December 3rd; nevertheless, we ascribe quarterly improvement to industry, where production increased by strong 9% q/q in 3Q09. Economic increase is related to the ongoing recovery at the key export markets (Germany +0.7% q/q, the Czech Republic +0.8% q/q in 3Q09 according to preliminary releases). The recovery in 2Q and 3Q 2009 was relatively steep and was largely affected by fiscal stimuli such as scrap subsidy. As the fiscal impulses across Euro area fade, we expect the quarterly growth rates to slow down in coming quarters (but stay positive).
  • Annual GDP changes will depend on revisions of the Statistical Office (to be released on December 3rd). Without taking possible revisions into account, we expect similar annual GDP decline in the last quarter as was seen in 3Q09. That would imply full-year GDP decline by 5.2% in 2009. Next year, we expect mild recovery and GDP growth at 2.6%. Recovery at job market will follow with a few quarters lag; we expect the unemployment rate to peak in 1Q10.
