The implementation of Slovakia's recovery plan will be the Government's biggest challenge, Finance Minister Eduard Heger (OLaNO) stated during an online discussion on the recovery plan - a document that every EU country needs to come up with in order to draw money from the EU Recovery and Resilience facility. Heger gave his assurance that Slovakia is working on its recovery plan so that it can submit its final draft to the European Commission on April 30, 2021. He explained that the recovery plan should also be a way to increase the quality of life in Slovakia closer to the level of the European Union.
Slovakia's recovery and resilience plan focuses on five areas, namely a greener and cleaner Slovakia, where €1.9 billion should be invested; healthy living, with €1.45 billion; an efficient state and digitisation, worth €950 million; €850 million should be used for better education; and €700 million for competitive and innovative Slovakia. The minister stressed that in the recovery plan, both investments and reforms are important.
