This paper analyzes the composition of public expenditure in the Slovak Republic. It also assesses the relative efficiency of spending in education and health. The Slovak Republic spends more on social benefits and less on wages compared to the EU and OECD average. While it manages to translate the low expenditures into outcomes in an efficient manner in the education sector, this is not true for health. Moreover, the recent increases in expenditure levels have not improved outcomes, suggesting that significant budgetary savings could be achieved through increases in efficiency.IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2012/173Government spending policySlovakiaEducation spendingimfEducationimfEducation: GeneralimfEnvironmental Taxes and SubsidiesimfExpenditureimfExpenditures, PublicimfHealth care spendingimfNational Government Expenditures and EducationimfNational Government Expenditures and HealthimfNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: GeneralimfPublic finance & taxationimfPublic FinanceimfRedistributive EffectsimfSocial Security and Public PensionsimfTaxation and Subsidies: ExternalitiesimfTotal expendituresimfSlovakiaAppropriations and expendituresSlovak RepublicimfGovernment spending policyEducation spendingEducationEducation: GeneralEnvironmental Taxes and SubsidiesExpenditureExpenditures, PublicHealth care spendingNational Government Expenditures and EducationNational Government Expenditures and HealthNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: GeneralPublic finance & taxationPublic FinanceRedistributive EffectsSocial Security and Public PensionsTaxation and Subsidies: ExternalitiesTotal expenditures332.1/52Grigoli Francesco1127643DcWaIMFBOOK9910820536303321Public Expenditure in the Slovak Republic4110872UNINA
