Abstract: The Czech economy continues to expand at a robust pace but faces rising structural headwinds. Deep integration into regional and global value chains— historically, a strength—increases vulnerability to disruptions and geoeconomics fragmentation. A high concentration of trading partners and export products, especially in key manufacturing segments, raises sensitivity to shifts in demand, trade policies, and sector-specific shocks. High energy intensity raises exposure to price volatility. Adverse demographic trends constrain labor supply and weigh on medium-term growth.
