The Czech Republic’s current account deficit widened sharply in June 2026, more than doubling from the previous month, according to data updated on 13 August 2026. The balance slipped to -80.470 billion, compared with -38.310 billion recorded in May 2026.
The steep deterioration in the current account position signals mounting external imbalances over the early summer period. While the specific drivers behind the surge in the deficit are not detailed in the latest release, the figures point to significantly higher net outflows than in the previous month, underscoring growing pressures on the country’s external accounts as mid-2026 progresses.
