Czechia

map Czechia
The Czech economy is slowly entering recovery mode: the second quarter saw a return to growth and tamed inflation. However, any optimism about the economic prospects must be tempered by the weak performance of Czechia’s export-oriented industry, which continues to grapple with the stagnation in Germany. Investments also remain sluggish amidst the high level of uncertainty. While consumption will support growth this year, a more extensive recovery is to be anticipated in the years to follow, assuming gradually improving external demand and revived investment activity.
