Fiscal Outlook of the Czech Republic
According to the Fiscal Outlook of the Czech Republic (November 2025) issued by the Czech Ministry of Finance in recent years, Czech society, the economy, and public finances have faced significant challenges. A series of external shocks, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine, led to heightened uncertainty, disrupted supply chains, and high inflation. These pressures contributed to a slowdown in economic activity and a period of stagnation. Since 2024, however, the economy has shown signs of steady recovery, expanding by 1.2% last year, with growth projected to pick up to 2.4% this year. Similar moderate growth is expected to continue in the coming years.
