The Czech Republic will record the lowest number of births in its history in 2025, according to preliminary data from health authorities. According to Antonín Pařízek of the Czech Gynecological and Obstetrical Society, the number of births could fall to around 75,000 this year, with some regions reporting nearly 20 percent fewer newborns.
Experts expect low birth rates to persist.

The country has 84 maternity hospitals; the future of at least six will be discussed by insurers next year.

The new Czech government plans to audit the contract for the purchase and operation of 24 F-35 supersonic fighter jets, worth around 150 billion crowns, as well as payments already made, Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Alena Schillerová (ANO) told Czech Television. “We are studying the contract, the conditions, the advance payments, how they were paid, whether there was overpayment, and so on,” Schillerová said.
Defence Minister Jaromír Zůna (nominated by the SPD) said earlier that his ministry would carry out an analysis, including the option of terminating the contract. However the ANO party has made it clear that it is not in favour of terminating the agreement. Deputy Prime Minister Karel Havlíček (ANO) previously said the purchase of the F-35 jets was a settled matter.
