Czech banks will tighten limits on investment mortgages starting in April, following recommendations from the Czech National Bank, the Czech News Agency reported.
The new measures, effective from April 1, 2026, will apply only to newly issued loans. Banks expect the move to affect mortgage volumes, though not dramatically.
Under the recommendations, banks should cap the loan-to-value (LTV) ratio at 70 percent. The applicant’s total debt-to-income (DTI) ratio should not exceed seven times their annual income.

More than 20 Czech editors-in-chief have called on Prime Minister Andrej Babiš and other politicians to respect free, independent and critical journalism.
They stressed that independent media are an essential pillar of any democratic society, ensuring public oversight of state power. According to the signatories, every democratic politician must be able to withstand such scrutiny.
The appeal came in response to Babiš’s Saturday social media post, in which he criticized outlets including Seznam Zprávy, Novinky.cz and the daily Právo, saying they had long abandoned objectivity and become political actors. He described their reporting as an “open campaign” against the coalition government and said the outlets were “completely untrustworthy” due to alleged “lies, manipulation and bias.”

A 60-year-old Czech climber died after a fall on the Greek island of Kalymnos, the website Kairn.com reported. The accident happened on Friday on a climbing route known as Jurassic Park.
According to the report, the climber was descending when bolts at a fixed anchor broke, causing him to fall. He landed on a rocky ledge and initially remained conscious.
Rescue efforts were complicated by bad weather and difficult terrain. The man was later transported to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The incident has raised concerns about the condition of older fixed anchors on the island’s climbing routes. Local authorities said they plan to check routes established before 2005 and advised climbers to avoid them unless they have been recently renewed.

Czech hockey legend Jaromír Jágr says he has not officially ended his playing career, but a return to professional hockey now seems unlikely. In an interview for the NHL website, the 54-year-old said the demands of training and preparation no longer make sense if he only plays a few minutes per game.
Jágr last appeared in a competitive match for Kladno on December 21 last year in an Extraliga game against Liberec.
The most productive European player in NHL history said he still skates occasionally but does not expect to play another professional game.
