=== Assistant: Good question. ===
Good question. It’s a bit tricky to find a neatly tabulated public-government deficit as % of GDP for all 15 fiscal years for Slovakia, but I pulled together the best available data and sources. (Note: I use general government deficit / net borrowing from Eurostat / Slovak statistical office — since “government deficit” in public finances normally means net borrowing.)

Here’s a table of Slovakia’s general government deficit (% of GDP) for the last ~15 years, plus notes on sources. Some years are rough / preliminary or revised.

Notes / caveats:
* The 2024 figure was updated in October 2025: the Statistical Office of the SR reports the deficit for 2024 as 5.50% of GDP.

* The 2023 “4.9%” figure is cited in a Brussels report but might differ slightly depending on revision. Data Consilium<ref>{{cite web|title=Data Consilium|url=https://data.consilium.europa.eu/doc/document/ST-11092-2024-INIT/en/pdf|publisher=Data Consilium|access-date=2025-11-19}}</ref>
* Data come from a mix of Slovak Statistical Office releases and Eurostat’s GOV_10DD_EDPT1 dataset.

* Fiscal year here is being treated as calendar year because the Eurostat data is on an annual basis. If Slovakia’s “fiscal year” differs, the comparable data might be slightly shifted.

If you like, I can pull revised (final) deficit-to-GDP data (not just preliminary estimates) and put them in a chart. Do you want me to do that?
