The Czech economy is showing mostly positive signs as of June 10, 2026. The Prague Stock Exchange rebounded from Monday's losses, with the PX index gaining nearly one percent. Prague Airport reported record profits and announced the continuation of a large-scale modernization project. The energy group innogy announced plans to invest 100 billion Czech crowns in the Czech Republic by 2035, including investments in wind energy. At the same time, the Ministry of Finance presented a fiscal and structural plan, which anticipates a slight increase in the deficit next year and a gradual reduction by 2030.

The Prague Stock Exchange reversed its Monday weakness and moved into positive territory. The PX index gained nearly one percent, reaching 2,548.87 points. Shares of the Pilsen-based engineering company Doosan Škoda Power performed strongly, as did shares of ČEZ and the banking sector. In contrast, shares of the arms manufacturer CSG fell to new lows. On the same day, the Czech crown strengthened against both major global currencies.

Prague Airport, the operator of Václav Havel Airport Prague, increased its net profit year-on-year by 800 million crowns to 3.2 billion crowns last year. Gross operating profit (EBITDA) also increased by 800 million crowns to 5.1 billion crowns in 2025, and the company is continuing its extensive modernization program. The state, as the sole shareholder, will retain 80 percent of last year's net profit for Prague Airport, according to Minister of Finance Alena Schillerová.

The energy group innogy increased its net profit in the Czech Republic by nearly five percent to 2.81 billion crowns last year. The company plans to invest approximately 100 billion crowns in energy projects in the Czech Republic by 2035, with plans to more than triple its investments this year compared to last year. Part of this expansion includes entering the wind energy sector; innogy is involved in the preparation of a wind farm with a capacity of 20.5 MW, the construction of which will require 1.1 billion crowns, and the first green electricity from wind is expected to flow into the grid in 2028. The company also wants to strengthen its biogas production; following the acquisition of a biogas plant in Písek, it is planning further similar projects.

The deficit of the government sector is expected to increase next year to 2.8 percent of GDP, up from 2.6 percent this year. It is then expected to gradually decrease to 1.3 percent of GDP by 2030. This is according to a draft fiscal and structural plan prepared by the Ministry of Finance. The plan still needs to be approved by the government and is expected to be confirmed by the European Commission in July.

According to the results of the 61st colloquium on macroeconomic forecasts, which include a recent forecast from the OECD at the beginning of June, the Czech economy is expected to grow by 2.1 percent this year. Household consumption could increase by 2.9 percent, and gross fixed capital formation by 3.3 percent.
