Telecoms operator O2 will not meet its target of covering 20% of the Slovak population with 5G network this year, due to lack of components. It is content that the public opposition to 5G networks waned as the conspiracy buffs now fight vaccines. Next year, its 5G network should cover all regional capitals. (zive.sk)

The coalition party SaS rejects four measures from the tax reform draft unveiled by Finance Minister Igor Matovič (OĽaNO). These are elimination of a cap on social levy payments, millionaire tax, hike in the dividend tax and higher taxes for sole traders, banks and energy companies. It either backs the remaining measures or is willing to discuss and approve them after minor adjustments. The party wants the coalition to immediately approve the changes that have the support of

Telekomunikačný operátor O2 pre nedostatok komponentov nesplní cieľ pokryť 5G sieťou už tento rok 20% populácie. Je spokojný, že odpor verejnosti proti 5G sieťam opadol, keďže dezinfoscéna teraz bojuje proti vakcínam. Budúci rok chce 5G sieťou pokryť všetky krajské mestá. (zive.sk)

Koaličná strana SaS zásadne odmieta štyri body z daňovej reformy ministra financií Igora Matoviča (OĽaNO). Ide o zrušenie stropov na odvody, milionársku daň, zvýšenie dane z dividend a zvýšenie zdaňovania živnostníkov, bánk a energetických firiem. Zvyšné návrhy podporuje, alebo si vie predstaviť ich podporu po diskusii a ich miernej úprave. Chce, aby koalícia okamžite schválila zmeny, ktoré majú podporu celej koalície. Pri ostatných navrhuje rokovania. Za rizikové považuje, ž

About a million Slovaks do not have any antibodies to Covid-19, which is half of unvaccinated people, a first such Slovak study showed. Less than half of the recovered had moderate or high levels of antibodies. The level of antibodies decreases rapidly and if low does not protect against the omicron variant. In the better vaccinated UK, only 5% of people do not have antibodies.

Despite EU climate policy and the rising prices of emission allowances, electricity production from fossil fuels in Slovakia increased in the first 11 months of this year by 18% annually to 6.6 TWh.

Žiadne protilátky proti Covid-19 nemá milión Slovákov, viac ako polovica neočkovaných ľudí, ukázala prvá podobná slovenská štúdia. Strednú alebo vysokú úroveň protilátok na Covid-19 mala necelá polovica ľudí, ktorí chorobu prekonali. Množstvo protilátok rýchlo klesá a ich nízka hladina nechráni pred variantom omikron. Opäť tak hrozia plné nemocnice. V lepšie zaočkovanej Veľkej Británii nemá protilátky iba 5% ľudí.

The second pension pillar again failed most of its clients this year. Of its 1.68m clients, 69% put money in bond funds that lost 0.08% to 4% this year. Funds administered by pension managers again failed to beat the market and posted yields of 10-20%. A typical case is the equity fund 365.life, a top performer last year (16.5%), that lost 12% this year. Low-cost index funds brought clients yields of over 20% this year. (sme.sk)

SPM, a Czech company, has submitted the lowest bid in the Interior Ministry’s car license plate tender, €4.10 per piece. The plates are currently supplied by Turčan Delta, which charges €7.50. The Slovak company MOPS PRESS offered a price only slightly higher than SPM, which also supplies tables in Czechia. The current supplier is expected to obstruct the tender: it has been doing so since 2019. Demand for the plates should fall by 40% from the current 1m annually after 2023,
