BRATISLAVA, Nov. 13 (Xinhua) -- Slovakia's gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 0.3 percent year-on-year in the third quarter, marking its slowest pace in 15 quarters, according to preliminary data released by the Slovak Statistics Office on Friday.
The growth rate was the lowest since the first quarter of 2023 and also the weakest recorded so far this year, the office said.
After seasonal adjustment, GDP rose by 0.5 percent year-on-year and 0.1 percent quarter-on-quarter.
The modest economic expansion was mainly supported by stronger domestic demand, particularly final household consumption and corporate investment, according to the preliminary estimate. ■
