How Inflation Affects Your Savings in 2025
Inflation in Slovakia in 2025 remains one of the
most discussed economic phenomena.
Continuously rising prices of food, energy, and services
affect household budgets and reduce purchasing power.
What this means for you:
Money kept in a regular account gradually loses its
value – the same amount buys less today than it did a
year ago.
-
How to respond:
- Monitor the real inflation rate, which better reflects actual prices in stores.
- Consider investing in safe assets to help preserve the value of your savings.
- Plan your budget with a reserve – ideally 5–10% to account for inflationary fluctuations.
📊 Understanding inflation means knowing how to protect your money.

Euro vs. Dollar Exchange Rate: What's Happening in the Market?
In 2025, we are witnessing significant fluctuations in
the EUR/USD exchange rate. The main causes include
U.S. monetary policy, energy prices,
and rising geopolitical tensions. These changes directly
impact the Slovak economy.
How it affects Slovakia:
A stronger dollar increases the cost of importing oil,
gas, and electronics, while a weaker euro supports the
export of Slovak products.
-
Recommendations:
- Monitor the real-time euro exchange rate for purchases and travel.
- Businesses should account for currency fluctuations in their budgets and pricing.
💡 A stable currency means stable planning and healthy finances.

Financial Literacy: Basics for Everyone
Financial literacy is not just about investments. It
involves the ability to manage money, plan a budget, and
avoid unnecessary debt.

greater stability.

📖 Financial education is the most reliable form of investment.

How to Prepare for Energy Price Fluctuations
Fluctuations in energy prices are one of the main drivers of inflation. They affect not only households but also industry and businesses, which is reflected in product prices.
-
What you can do:
- Monitor consumption – use smart meters and energy-saving technologies.
- During unstable periods, consider fixed tariffs.
- Take advantage of subsidies and grants for renewable energy sources.
🌱 Energy savings mean saving money and the environment.
