On 26 March 2026, Eximbanka participated in the V4 ECA Conference in Budapest, where the export credit agencies of the V4 countries discussed the current economic and geopolitical developments, the regulatory environment and new priorities in export promotion. At the expert forum, the ECA presented its priorities, which reflect the changing structure of the economy, the growing importance of strategic sectors and the need to strengthen the competitiveness of Slovak exporters.
The Slovak economy is entering a period of gradual transformation driven by technological change, pressure for efficiency and a changing global environment. Igor Barát, Deputy Director General of Eximbanka, stated this at the Trends of Slovak Business 2026 conference in a panel discussion devoted to the future of industry.
Small modular reactors (SMRs) are increasingly being profiled as a realistic solution for stable and low-emission power generation. They also represent an opportunity for Slovak companies to engage in international projects and supply chains with higher added value. This was highlighted at the seminar in Bratislava by Rastislav Podhorec, CEO of Eximbanka, who emphasised the role of export credit agencies in supporting these investments in a panel on project financing.
Representatives of Eximbanka and the National Council of the Slovak Republic (NC SR) signed today, 10 March 2026, a Memorandum of Cooperation, which creates a framework for the coordination of activities to support the economic and strategic interests of Slovakia abroad, especially in the context of foreign business trips and the presentation of Slovak companies in foreign markets.
