The majority of Czechs are attempting to manage their budgets more carefully in view of the rising fuel prices and rampant inflation currently being seen in the country, according to a survey by the company Cofidis cited by the Czech News Agency on Saturday.

The report suggests that 83 percent of Czechs are trying to make savings on heating while 81 percent are trying to consume less electricity in their households.

Some 80 percent of those surveyed said they were being more careful when it came to food shopping.
