The Czech economy demonstrated resilience in the second quarter of 2025, with a 2.6% year-on-year growth, the highest since mid-2022. This robust performance was primarily fueled by increased household consumption and a significant rise in inventories. Household consumption surged by 3.4% year-on-year, contributing 1.2 percentage points to the overall GDP growth. Additionally, inventory accumulation added 1.4 percentage points, reflecting businesses' efforts to prepare for future demand. However, investment activity showed only a modest increase, and the foreign trade balance had a slight negative effect on the economy. Despite these challenges, the overall economic expansion indicates a steady recovery trajectory.
