Slovak economy grows 6,6 %

For 2006 it is estimated that real incomes will grow by 3.1% and the unemployment will fall at 13.8%. Moreover, the average growth of consumer prices is expected to be 4.5%.  
Consumer credit growth is estimated to remain high, reaching over 6% of GDP, also thanks to a more systematic use by local financial institutions of credit information provided by SCB - the company of the CRIF Group managing the Slovak credit bureau.
