Now, in the case of Slovakia, it is expecting an economic increase of 5.2 percent next year.

In its forecast at the end of August, the Czech Ministry of Finance improved its estimate of economic development for this year and 2022. The economy is expected to grow by 3.2 percent this year and by 4.2 percent next year.

In its forecast from early August, the Czech National Bank expects economic growth of 3.5 percent and next year of 4.1 percent.
