The Czech Republic’s economic growth slowed in the fourth quarter of 2025, with gross domestic product (GDP) expanding by 0.5% quarter-on-quarter, down from a 0.8% increase in the previous quarter. The latest data, updated on 30 January 2026, underline a moderation in the country’s short-term growth momentum after a relatively stronger performance in the third quarter.
In the third quarter of 2025, GDP rose by 0.8% compared with the second quarter, but the fourth-quarter reading shows that the pace of expansion has cooled. The figures are based on quarter-on-quarter comparisons, where the current value reflects the change from the third to the fourth quarter of 2025, and the previous value measures the change from the second to the third quarter of 2025.
The deceleration suggests that while the Czech economy continued to grow at the end of 2025, it did so at a slower clip, signaling a potential shift toward more moderate expansion heading into 2026.
