The paper presents an analysis of the financial position of sectors us
ing a standard sets of financial indicators based upon the economic re
sults obtained in non-financial organizations of the Slovak Republic i
n 1993. By means of financial ratios the notion of liquidity, capital
structure, performance and profitability of sectors are defined. Angle
of approach is widened with information obtained in capital market an
d business research. The available data enable to study inter-industri
al variability only. In consideration of great heterogeneity of econom
ic subjects, available data characterizing inter-industrial variabilit
y should exist in future.Since the transformation process of the Slova
k economy is under way we recommend just a coutious interpretation of
the results reached in the sectors in 1993.
