The Czech Republic’s current account posted a surplus of CZK 29.2 billion in January 2026, narrowing from CZK 36.7 billion in the corresponding month of the previous year.
The contraction was driven by smaller surplus seen in the goods account, which fell to CZK 33.47 billion from CZK 34.87 billion in January 2025, as well as the services account, which declined to CZK 4.61 billion from CZK 10.52 billion.
Additionally, the primary income account deficit widened to CZK 14.19 billion from CZK 9.75 billion.
On the other hand, the secondary income account surplus expanded to CZK 5.28 billion from CZK 1.04 billion a year ago.
For the full year 2025, the country recorded a surplus of CZK 57.84 billion, down from CZK 140.51 billion in 2024.
