Retail sales in the Czech Republic strengthened in February 2026, with year-on-year growth rising to 4.1%, up from 3.7% in January 2026. The latest figures, updated on 07 April 2026, indicate a continued firming of consumer activity at the start of the year.
On a year-over-year basis, February’s reading means that retail turnover was 4.1% higher than in February 2025, compared with a 3.7% increase in January versus January 2025. This acceleration suggests that Czech consumers maintained, and slightly increased, their spending momentum into the second month of 2026.
The data will be closely watched by investors and policymakers as a signal of domestic demand strength, given that sustained retail growth can underpin broader economic performance in the months ahead.
