The country’s economy, heavily dependent on exports to the eurozone, is according to most estimates set for a contraction of around one percent. Wavering demand from the euro area along with weak and fading domestic spending are considered the main reasons behind the decline, not helped by the government’s austerity and tax hikes. In 2013, the eurozone is generally expected to return to moderate growth – but will this be enough to revive the Czech economy as well? That’s a question for Jan Bureš, the chief economist for Era Poštovní spořitelna, part of the Belgian KBC group. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/bures_jan.jpg?timestamp=1639570944 https://english.radio.cz/czech-economy-set-moderate-recovery-2013-says-economist-jan-bures-8548275 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
