Czech industry has continued to perform strongly in recent months despite Germany's weak economy and ongoing geopolitical tensions, according to analysts. Industrial output rose by four percent year-on-year in June, while new orders increased by more than 13 percent, reflecting solid demand. Analysts say the growth has been driven by strong order books, although some companies may have brought purchases forward because of uncertainty over shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. They expect the sector to continue expanding in the coming months, but at a gradual pace, with high energy costs, labour shortages and inflation still posing risks.
