Czech Republic

Aperçu économique et sectoriel

The Czech Republic is a high-income, open economy in Central Europe, deeply integrated into EU supply chains and strongly oriented toward manufacturing and exports. The automotive, engineering, electronics, and machinery sectors form the backbone of industrial output, with Germany as the dominant trade partner. The services sector, including financial services, IT, and tourism, accounts for roughly 60% of GDP. After a mild contraction in 2023, the economy returned to positive growth in 2024 driven by recovering household consumption and strong labour-market conditions. The Czech koruna remains the national currency; the country has not yet adopted the euro.
