BRATISLAVA, Nov 22 (Reuters) - Slovakia hopes to draw new foreign investments of up to 1.2 billion crowns ($43.34 million) to an industrial park near the western town of Sered this year, officials said on Wednesday. Investment inflows into the European Union newcomer have picked up this year thanks to low taxes, cheap workforce and proximity to western markets. New businesses have helped fuel economic growth to record 9.8 percent in the third quarter.
