Although Slovakia’s other indicator scores are on or below average, there are some strong metric scores which suggest good practices in key areas. For example, on procurement Slovakia achieves the maximum score for administrative effectiveness and scores very highly on transparency. On fiscal and financial management, Slovakia does well on the extent of published finance data, while for HR management it scores well on the use of performance related pay. On tax administration, Slovakia scores highly on the volume of online VAT returns.

The main areas where Slovakia’s performance is weak relative to other countries are HR management, integrity and policy making.
