In the third quarter of 2025, the Czech Republic's gross domestic product (GDP) increased by 0.8% compared to the previous quarter, building on a 0.5% growth rate seen in the preceding three months, as confirmed by the second estimates. The positive performance of net trade played a crucial role in this growth, with exports rising by 0.9% (up from 0.5% in the second quarter) and imports increasing by just 0.1% (down from 2.0%). However, domestic demand presented a challenge to overall economic growth. Household consumption slowed significantly, rising by only 0.3% compared to 1.2%, government spending decreased to 0.5% from 1.5%, and fixed investment growth also eased to 0.6% from 1.5%. Year-on-year, the GDP advanced by 2.8% in the third quarter. This figure aligns with earlier estimates and surpasses the 2.6% recorded in the previous quarter, representing the most robust annual growth rate since the second quarter of 2022.
