The Year of Saint Francis & Newest Inflation Report by the National Bank of Slovakia. (4.6.2026 16:00)
About this episode
The episode discusses the legacy of Saint Francis of Assisi and examines public perceptions of inflation in Slovakia.
In this Thursday’s programme, we first look at the legacy of Saint Francis of Assisi and the 800th anniversary of his passing, reflecting on the experiences of Slovak Franciscans during communist persecution and the continuing relevance of Franciscan values today. You will hear from Capuchin Brother Félix and Franciscan Brother Peter. In the second part, we turn to economics and examine how Slovaks perceive inflation. Why do rising food prices dominate public perceptions of the cost of living, and how does this shape economic expectations? These questions will be answered by Michal Marenčák, an expert in econometric modelling from the National Bank of Slovakia.
