According to updated data, GDP in 2Q grew by 4.6 % y/y, which is 0.1 % above the preliminary estimates given by the Czech Statistical Office. At the same time, 1Q results have been also corrected upwards. The economy growth in 2Q was above all driven by the foreign trade when a slow-down in domestic demand reduced the growth of import. The Czech economy was also negatively influenced by lower changes in inventories.
