Czech Republic

Aperçu économique et sectoriel

The Czech Republic (Czechia) is a high-income, open economy in Central Europe and a member of the European Union, with a nominal GDP of approximately $345 billion in 2024. The economy is heavily oriented toward manufacturing and exports, particularly in engineering, motor vehicles, electronics, machinery, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals, with the industrial sector accounting for roughly 37% of GDP. The services sector represents approximately 61% of GDP and is expanding, while agriculture contributes around 2%. The Czech Republic maintains one of the lowest unemployment rates in the EU, consistently below 3%, supported by persistent labour-market tightness.
