Year-on-year GDP growth in the Czech Republic eased slightly in the third quarter of 2026, slipping to 1.6% from 1.8% in the previous quarter. The latest figures, updated on 30 October 2026, indicate a modest loss of momentum in the country’s economic expansion.
The comparison is made on a year-over-year basis, with the current reading reflecting how output in the third quarter of 2026 compares with the same period a year earlier. Similarly, the second quarter’s 1.8% figure measured growth relative to the second quarter of the prior year. While the data still point to a growing economy, the mild deceleration suggests that the pace of recovery and expansion has become more measured as the year progresses.
