The Czech Republic’s gross domestic product grew 0.5% quarter-on-quarter in the second quarter of 2025, easing from a 0.7% rise in the previous three-month period but above preliminary estimates of a 0.2% growth, second estimates showed. This marked the softest expansion in the Czech economy since Q2 of 2024, weighed down by a decrease in fixed investments (0.5% vs 0.4% in Q1). Net trade also contributed negatively to the GDP, as exports (0.3% vs 3%) rose less than imports (1.5% vs 2.5%). Meanwhile, government spending rebounded (2.1% vs -0.8%), and private consumption improved (1.1% vs 0.4%). On a yearly basis, the economy expanded by 2.6% in Q2, higher than preliminary estimates of 2.4% gain and marking the fastest pace since Q2 of 2022, compared to a 2.4% advance in the previous period.
