Unemployment and inflation are decreasing, and at first glance, it seems that the economy is recovering from the pandemic, closed international trade, and the war in Ukraine. It almost looks like the coming months will be full of good news.
Unfortunately, the first impression is deceiving. The cooling of the German economy, which is stagnating against all expectations, will also have an impact on the Czech Republic. According to reports from the German Institute for Economic Research IFO, despite the improvement, German manufacturers are still facing a shortage of raw materials and semi-finished products (the shortage is still double the average). The business climate has worsened, and the mood among entrepreneurs is the worst in a year and a half.
For the Czech Republic, there has been a significant decline in expectations for German car manufacturers, which has been going on for the past five months. The index was last worse only during the financial crisis in 2008.

What are the implications of the decline in German car manufacturing for the overall health of the Czech Republic’s economy
Unemployment and inflation are currently on a downward trend, which initially seemed like a positive sign for the economy. It appeared as though we were finally recovering from the devastating effects of the pandemic, international trade restrictions, and the conflict in Ukraine. The prospects seemed promising, and it felt like the upcoming months would bring a wave of good news.
However, this first impression can be deceiving. The German economy, despite all expectations, is cooling down and stagnating. Unfortunately, this will have a ripple effect on the Czech Republic as well. Reports from the German Institute for Economic Research IFO indicate that while there has been some improvement, German manufacturers are still struggling with shortages of raw materials and semi-finished products. In fact, the shortage is twice the average. This has taken a toll on the business climate, and entrepreneurs are experiencing their worst mood in a year and a half.
The impact on the Czech Republic is significant, especially in terms of expectations for German car manufacturers. This decline has been ongoing for the past five months and is now reaching levels only seen during the financial crisis in 2008. It’s a concerning situation that raises questions about the overall health of the economy.
