THERE is one desire that business leaders, market watchers and politicians all share: weary of the global economic crisis, they seek signs of recovery. They, and the media, fix their sights on each new release of data from the Statistics Office with a sense of urgency unknown in times of better economic conditions. What will the business and investment environment be like in Slovakia in 2010?

The Slovak Spectator is pleased to present its tenth annual Investment Advisory Guide: your English-language source for current information on the Slovak business environment. The Slovak Spectator spoke to business leaders, analysts, professionals and critics; it explored trends and statistical tables, compared developments with past years and compiled what it considers to have been the key challenges and decisions faced by businesses and investors over the recent past. Investment Advisory Guide 2009 also includes comparisons of labour costs within individual regions of Slovakia, examines the air transport system in the country and thoroughly covers plans for energy development and energy security in the region.

Do you need to identify legal assistance in Slovakia? Investment Advisory Guide 2009 presents tables comparing the top law offices in Slovakia, featuring details on major cases they have handled. As in the past, this year’s Investment Advisory Guide provides a range of other useful listings with current contact details and basic information about industrial parks, developers, law firms and consultancies.
