INSTITUTIONAL SUPPORT OF THE SLOVAK REPUBLIC FOREIGN MARKET

Foreign market has for Slovak republic an essential importance, because of the small internal market, that doesn't cover raw material requests of slovak economy. On the other side, slovak market does not offer enough space for domestic production placement. The consequence of this is dependence of slovak economy on the world economy; mainly on economic situation in European Union, because the biggest part of export goes to EU countries. Nowadays, it is important to support international trade of Slovak republic and secure the stability of economy during the period of global economy crisis on the world markets and therefore secure sustainable growth of the economy and competitiveness of slovak economy in global environment.
