General Public lacking awareness of Slovakia's potential

Slovakia, in recent years, has been attracting the attention of companies and institutions worldwide, fast establishing itself as one of the most attractive investment destinations in Europe. And yet, when it comes to the awareness among the
general public (particularly outside Europe) the picture is very different.

Slovakia, a country with lots to offer to the international tourist, has been doing a notoriously bad job at promoting itself abroad. Things may start to slowly change as the
Slovak government has now recognized the improvement and increase of the country's tourism potential as one of the priorities.

In the meantime it was international politics that put Slovakia and Bratislava on top of the news worldwide.In late February, Bratislava hosted a presidential summit of the world's two most powerful men - Russia's President Vladimir Putin and US President G.W.Bush.

And, while no agreement of historical importance was reached at the Bratislava summit, the event itself - with many hours of CNN and other worldwide networks' coverage - has done more for the general awareness of Slovakia than years of promotion would.

And now a good news that will have more of a direct impact on your property investments in Slovakia.

Following the latest NBS (National Bank of Slovakia) base rate cut the Slovak mortgages became up to 1% cheaper, with rates now starting at just over 4.5% p.a. Most commonly, applicants will now be able to benefit from a rate of 5-6% p.a.(subject to status).
