CZECHIA: CNB Say Q2 GDP Figures In-Line With Forecast

CZECHIA

CNB comment on this morning's GDP data:

  • The new data indicate that the Czech economy is recovering in line with the CNB’s summer forecast overall.
  • The slightly lower quarter-on-quarter growth in Q2 was offset by faster growth at the start of this year.
  • Fixed investment returned to year-on-year growth unexpectedly early. However, this was counteracted by a deeper-than-expected decline in change in inventories.
  • The CNB’s summer forecast expects economic activity to increase by 1.2% this year.
  • The growth of the Czech economy is dampened this year by the consolidation package, which causes fiscal policy to be restrictive.
