Regions to lose state funding for lower-class road repairs

Prime Minister Andrej Babiš (ANO) has confirmed that Czech regions will not receive money from the State Fund for Transport Infrastructure next year to repair lower-class roads.

According to Babiš, regional governments already have sufficient funds for road repairs from tax-sharing revenues. The regions recorded a combined surplus of 32.1 billion crowns in the first half of 2026, down 8.2 percent year on year. It was nevertheless their third-highest surplus on record.
