Poll: Only 20% of Czechs happy with state of the economy

Only 20% of Czechs see the country’s economic situation in a positive light, according to the outcome of a poll conducted by the CVVM agency. Some 45% rate it as poor, and the remainder hold a neutral stance.

However, 64% of respondents feel positively about their household's standard of living, indicating a contrast between personal economic experiences and the broader national outlook.

Although negative views on the economy still dominate, they have decreased since early 2024, when 58% rated the situation poorly.

The poll shows that those who support Prime Minister Petr Fiala's government are more likely to view the economy favorably, while only 10% of government sceptics share this view.
