The services sector makes up for over 60 percent of the country’s GDP, whereas the industry sector amounts to more than one third of it. Nevertheless, the economic policies implemented after 1998 made Slovakia a country with a stable economy, and nowadays its GDP has a growth rate of between 3 and 4 percent and is estimated to only slightly fluctuate (in both directions) in the foreseeable future.
