This marked the slowest growth since Q1 2024 and was largely driven by a weaker foreign trade balance, while growth was supported by strong gross capital formation. On a yearly basis, GDP rose by 2.1% in the first quarter of 2026, moderating from a 2.7% increase in the preceding quarter. The annual expansion was underpinned by higher household consumption, particularly in final consumption expenditure, as well as gross fixed capital formation. Value-added gains were led by activities in trade, transportation, accommodation, catering, and industry. source: Czech Statistical Office
