The world is facing to various hazards globally over the last three years, such as: the global COVID-19 pandemic crisis. Even the ongoing war conflict between Russia and Ukraine does not add stability to the market and the ever-increasing prices of energy and some staple foods are changing consumer prices and making the situation confusing. This paper points to the development of some logistics indicators of economy and industry in Slovakia over the last 5 years, so the data reflect the development of these indicators before the COVID-19 crisis to the present. The choice of indicators was influenced to a large extent by the availability of data and thanks to the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic it was possible to prepare analyses of the development of the following indicators: foreign trade (exports and imports), sales for industrial production (including mining) and developments in transport. Year 2020 is a year of significant changes, as in March, April and May, industry (production and consumption) in Europe, but also in other countries of the world, was almost completely stopped. In the conclusion, the paper presents graphical overviews, which are supplemented by forecasts of the expected development of these indicators in the near future.
