FX.co ★ Czech GDP Momentum Eases in Q1 2026, Quarter‑on‑Quarter Growth Slows to 0.2%

Czech Republic’s economic growth lost momentum in the first quarter of 2026, with gross domestic product (GDP) expanding by 0.2% quarter‑on‑quarter, down from a 0.7% increase in the preceding quarter. The latest figure, updated on 30 June 2026, signals a clear moderation in short‑term growth dynamics.

Both the current and previous readings are measured on a quarter‑over‑quarter basis, meaning the 0.2% rise in the first quarter of 2026 reflects the change compared with the fourth quarter of the prior year, while the earlier 0.7% rate described the change in that prior quarter versus its predecessor. The slowdown suggests that the Czech economy, while still growing, is expanding at a much more subdued pace than in the recent past, a development likely to draw close scrutiny from policymakers and investors watching for shifts in regional growth trends.
