Chamber of Commerce and NERV want government to take steps to prevent stagnation

The Czech economy is at risk of stagnation, Dominik Stroukal, a member of the National Economic Council of the Government (NERV) told Czech Television on Sunday. Therefore, in approximately two weeks, both NERV and the Czech Chamber of Commerce are presenting recommendations to the government on how to kickstart the economy again.

The President of the Chamber of Commerce, Zdeněk Zajíček, said that fundamental steps need to be taken within a matter of months in the areas of energy, transport, data networks, affordable housing, labour market liberalization, education and science, and research and innovation. He would like the strategic investments to be approved by March next year.
