Czechs ranked 17th in EU wealth table

Czechs are on average the 17th poorest citizens of the 27-strong EU according to figures released by its statistics office Eurostat. Czechs come in around a third as wealthy as the EU’s wealthiest citizens, the Luxembourgers, and below the EU average. But they are the second richest citizens of the new member states in Central and Eastern Europe after the Slovenians and are twice as wealthy as the EU’s poorest, the Bulgarians.
