However, some of his recent public comments have raised eyebrows at a time when ANO is seeking to consolidate its front-runner position ahead of the high-stakes autumn parliamentary election.
- The CZSO will release final January CPI data tomorrow morning. Flash readings were published hours before last week's CNB rate decision, with the headline rate printing at +2.8% Y/Y.
