GDP is Eurostat's quarterly national accounts, seasonally and calendar adjusted. Slovakia's quarterly growth is unusually volatile because car production dominates a small economy: the large swings in late 1998 and 1999, late 2007 and early 2008, and the fall of early 2009 match Eurostat's published figures and are not processing errors.

Inflation is the EU's harmonised index (HICP), the measure the ECB targets, which can differ by a few tenths from the Statistical Office's national CPI. Slovakia joined the euro on 1 January 2009 and has had no policy rate of its own since: the rate shown is the European Central Bank's deposit facility rate, from that date.

Unemployment is Eurostat's monthly, seasonally adjusted rate (ILO definition, ages 15 to 74). Slovak news often quotes the labour office's registered unemployment rate instead, a different measure. Employment and participation rates are the OECD's quarterly figures for ages 15 to 64.

Goods trade is Eurostat's monthly total with the rest of the world, in euros. Cars and electronics dominate Slovakia's exports, so the balance moves with the car industry and with energy import prices.
Goods trade only. Services aren't covered by this data source and aren't shown here, so relationships that lean heavily on services may be understated.
