The Czech Social Democratic Party (CSSD) is ahead of the Civic Democratic Party (ODS) in opinion polls, but the composition of the government following the election depends on which smaller parties gain representation. Our baseline forecast is that the CSSD will form a government with informal support from the far-left Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia (KSCM), but there is still a chance of a grand CSSD-ODS coalition. 2e346f7b28ca5969a91fc7c31a0b494eSun, 01 Nov 2009 12:00:00 GBEurope/Czech RepublicCountry Report Czech Republic October 2009http://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/europe/czech_republic/country_report_czech_republic_october_2009.htmlOutlook for 2010-11 The non-partisan interim government??. 4577f90a13e50f6dc06c23fcf5292d56Wed, 07 Oct 2009 12:00:00 GBEurope/Czech RepublicCzech Republic Business Forecast Report: Q4 2009http://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/europe/czech_republic/czech_republic_business_forecast_report.htmlA Sharp Contraction But Safe From Crisis The Czech economy will undergo a painful recession in 2009, as export demand and foreign capital inflows from the eurozone dry up. Taking account of the Q109 GDP growth figure (-3. 4% year-onyear [y-o-y]), an array of leading indicator data and a recent downgrade to our full-year German real GDP growth forecast to -5. 0abbb07890cde031e628acb317cb7481Wed, 09 Sep 2009 12:00:00 GBEurope/Czech RepublicCountry Report Czech Republic September 2009http://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/europe/czech_republic/country_report_czech_republic_september_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 As the Civic Democratic Party (ODS) and the Czech Social Democratic Party (CSSD) are level in opinion polls, the composition of the government following the election depends on which smaller parties gain representation. Our baseline forecast is that the CSSD will form a government with informal support from the far-left Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia (KSCM), but there is still a chance of a grand CSSD-ODS coalition. Both scenarios imply a continuation of earlier patterns of patchy and incremental reforms, and the first also implies a minority (or weak majority)? government. 0b54ecba4de4c8a0202a3e2cf95a7db0Wed, 02 Sep 2009 12:00:00 GBEurope/Czech RepublicCzech Republic Infrastructure Report Q4 2009http://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/europe/czech_republic/czech_republic_infrastructure_report_q4_2009.htmlThe Czech Republic is feeling the squeeze of the global economic slowdown, and the country's energy sector is one of the few showing signs of life in the latest quarter. BMI's latest forecast is that construction industry value will amount to CZK208bn in 2009, down from the CZK211bn we were forecasting earlier this year. The figure represents a decline from the CZK209bn that the national statistics office gave as the value of the construction industry in 2008. cc76028120a28fde6920727b8ba740fbSat, 08 Aug 2009 12:00:00 GBEurope/Czech RepublicCountry Report Czech Republic August 2009http://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/europe/czech_republic/country_report_czech_republic_august_2009.htmlYou may have noticed that since the second quarter of this year, some additional content has started to appear in your monthly and quarterly CRs. We are now including a country map, and a range of basic data (selected to be useful for business travellers in particular), in every country report. For most countries, except a few where data is in very short supply, we are also including comparative economic indicators that show each country's position relative to regional peers, in easy-to-read graphical format. 024795a79338cdf01fa2e6f7a0f122c6Sat, 01 Aug 2009 12:00:00 GBEurope/Czech RepublicCountry Report Czech Republic July 2009http://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/europe/czech_republic/country_report_czech_republic_july_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 A non-partisan government took office in May to prepare the 2010 budget, ahead of the parliamentary election, brought forward to October 2009. As the Civic Democratic Party (ODS) and the opposition Czech Social Democratic Party (CSSD) are running almost level in opinion polls, the election appears likely to produce a hung parliament. The CSSD may be able to form a parliamentary majority with informal support from the far-left Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia (KSCM). 22159235b74c961c122cbf5199e99aecWed, 01 Jul 2009 12:00:00 GBEurope/Czech RepublicCountry Report Czech Republic June 2009http://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/europe/czech_republic/country_report_czech_republic_june_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 A non-partisan government has been formed to complete the country's EU presidency and prepare the 2010 budget, ahead of the parliamentary election that will be brought forward to October 2009. As the Civic Democratic Party (ODS) and the opposition Czech Social Democratic Party (CSSD) are running almost level in opinion polls, it is difficult to say at this point who will win the next election. The CSSD may be able to form a parliamentary majority with informal support from the far-left Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia (KSCM). 0620c3afd1c5358cdf13ddeccced9f26Sat, 06 Jun 2009 12:00:00 GBEurope/Czech RepublicCountry Report Czech Republic April 2009http://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/europe/czech_republic/country_report_czech_republic_april_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 The centre-right coalitioncomprising the Civic Democratic Party (ODS), the Christian Democratic Union-Czechoslovak People's Party (KDU-CSL) and the Green Partylost a confidence vote on March 24th that was initiated by the centre-left opposition, the Czech Social Democratic Party (CSSD). It is unclear whether there will be a reconfiguration of the parties in government, or whether an early election will be held. A reconfiguration would result in continued government ineffectiveness, whereas an early election could result in a stronger government. ca2516fb61486a30191f1de9db3daf11Sat, 04 Apr 2009 12:00:00 GBEurope/Czech RepublicCountry Report Czech Republic March 2009http://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/europe/czech_republic/country_report_czech_republic_march_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 The ruling coalition—comprising the Civic Democratic Party (ODS), the Christian Democratic Union-Czechoslovak People's Party (KDU-CSL) and the Green Party—looks likely to survive until the next election, scheduled for 2010. Politically, it will be increasingly difficult to introduce deeper structural reforms, owing to the proximity of the general election, as well as a lack of consensus in the ruling coalition and in the ODS. The Economist Intelligence Unit's outlook for the euro zone in 2009-10 is pessimistic. 68883fe0729c13f8d51f0e691818cdabTue, 03 Mar 2009 12:00:00 GBEurope/Czech RepublicCountry Report Czech Republic February 2009http://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/europe/czech_republic/country_report_czech_republic_february_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 The ruling coalition, made up of the Civic Democratic Party (ODS), the Christian Democratic Union-Czechoslovak People's Party (KDU-CSL) and the Green Party, looks likely to survive until the next election, scheduled for 2010.

Politically, it will be increasingly difficult to introduce deeper structural reforms, owing to the proximity of the general election scheduled for 2010, as well as a lack of consensus in the ruling coalition and in the ODS. There is a threat to the government's stability, owing to a possible internal rebellion within the ODS. 688ac68f5e02ed780f2c95cecd8f462dThu, 01 Jan 2009 12:00:00 GBEurope/Czech RepublicCzech Republic Infrastructure Report Q1 2009http://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/europe/czech_republic/czech_republic_infrastructure_report_q1_2009_1.htmlIn time for the launch of BMI's infrastructure Q109 reports we have revised our construction data. The data has been modified from 2008 onwards. This initiative stems from new methodology being introduced in our forecasting method and aims to increase the relevance and reliability of BMI's infrastructure data. 98c24d1b3160563d72df8c8912cca145Fri, 12 Dec 2008 12:00:00 GBEurope/Czech RepublicCountry Report Czech Republic December 2008http://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/europe/czech_republic/country_report_czech_republic_december_2008.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 Proposals for radical reform will be met with strengthening opposition from within the ruling coalition. The prime minister, Mirek Topolanek, will therefore have to make concessions to his coalition partners on crucial legislation. There is a threat to the government's stability, owing to a possible internal rebellion within the main ruling party, the Civic Democratic Party (ODS). cd96fdab299d8b72c3d0d27e0ce30ba4Fri, 12 Dec 2008 12:00:00 GBEurope/Czech RepublicCzech Republic Business Forecast Report Q1 2009http://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/europe/czech_republic/czech_republic_business_forecast_report_q1_2009.htmlEconomy To Suffer Amid Eurozone Slowdown As eurozone GDP growth slows to only 0. 2%, with elevated risks of an outright recession, the Czech growth outlook will weaken markedly on the back of slowing export demand and reduced investment inflows in 2009. As a result, we now expect Czech GDP to expand by only 3. 8bc867cd46b832a01ab73a694cdd93d4Tue, 11 Nov 2008 12:00:00 GBEurope/Czech RepublicCzech Republic Infrastructure Report Q3 2008http://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/europe/czech_republic/czech_republic_infrastructure_report_q3_2008.htmlThe Czech Republic has a modern and reliable infrastructure. Since joining the European Union (EU), the country's infrastructure has been developing to bring it in line with European standards. The high level of infrastructure means that the country is able to compete with a number of other European nations especially those in eastern Europe for the investment from companies wanting to diversify their asset portfolio's into emerging markets or to relocate their operations to a nation, which offers cheaper labour and property, whilst still promising a secure and reliable infrastructure. 26372ca33722d20286e6665ac65dad9dMon, 04 Aug 2008 12:00:00 GBEurope/Czech RepublicCountry Report Czech Republichttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/europe/czech_republic/country_report_czech_republic.htmlOutlook for 2008-09 The government's effectiveness depends on the ability of the prime minister, Mirek Topolanek, to balance the demands of his diverse governing coalition, as well as on the continued support of renegade opposition deputies. There is a threat to the government's stability in the longer term, owing to the possibility of an internal rebellion within the main ruling party, the Civic Democratic Party (ODS). Interest rates could be kept on hold over the next few months, before declining towards the end of 2008, unless high inflation raises expectations. 71ea6bfde7e772a7badf45e07fc72fe6Fri, 06 Jun 2008 12:00:00 GBEurope/Czech RepublicCzech Republic Business Forecast Report Q3 2008http://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/europe/czech_republic/czech_republic_business_forecast_report_q3_2008.htmlThe convergence Game The Czech Republic is amongst the central and eastern Europe states most closely converged with the eurozone. Real GDP per capita in purchasing power parity terms is now 8 % of the EU- 7 average. We expect further progress over the coming years, and, even though the country is on the slow track to adopting the euro, are generally enthused about the economic prospects of the Czech Republic. bb4bf57acdb97a9630a5d704a1aaf775Mon, 02 Jun 2008 12:00:00 GBEurope/Czech Republic
