Crown now strongest toward euro and dollar since start of crisis

The Czech crown is now at its strongest toward major international currencies since the start of the coronavirus crisis in the Czech Republic. At the close of trading on Friday the crown stood at 26.22 to the euro and 22.56 to the US dollar, according to data on the website Patria Online.

When the crisis hit the country the Czech currency weakened by two crowns toward the euro and by three crowns toward the dollar. However, it started gaining in strength again when the government eased coronavirus measures and ended a state of emergency.
