  • Coalition refuses program changes, Babiš to address conflict of interest only ahead of appointment
    11/14/2025

    The new coalition between ANO, SPD, and Motorists will not revise its program despite President Petr Pavel’s Wednesday request to add the government’s stance on Russia’s war against Ukraine, include a commitment to fulfilling NATO obligations and outline plans to raise defence spending. Coalition leaders agreed on the stance Thursday evening.

    ANO party leader Andrej Babiš said the program reflects a compromise among coalition partners. He added he will outline how he plans to resolve his conflict of interest shortly before the president appoints him prime minister. The coalition aims to set a timeline next week for announcing ministerial nominees and wants to pass the state budget in time to avoid a provisional one.

  • Czech Central Bank buys bitcoin and digital assets worth nearly CZK 21 million
    11/13/2025

    The Czech National Bank (ČNB) has purchased blockchain-based digital assets worth around USD 1 million (CZK 20.9 million) to gain practical experience in holding such assets. The test portfolio includes Bitcoin, dollar-pegged stablecoins, and tokenized deposits, but will not be part of the bank’s official foreign reserves.

    The ČNB will not actively increase the investment, though its value may fluctuate with the market. The trial, representing just 0.0006% of the bank’s reserves, is expected to last two to three years, after which the results will be evaluated.

    The assets were bought via a regulated exchange complying with anti-money laundering (AML) rules. The bank stressed that it currently has no plans to include Bitcoin or other digital assets in its official reserves.
