Czech and Slovak investment and pension growth

Overview

Investment and pension savings are experiencing significant growth in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. In the Czech Republic, long-term investment products (DIP) have exceeded 265,000, with total assets reaching 12.1 billion CZK, primarily through investment funds. Experts have advised investors to verify providers and understand investment risks.

In Slovakia, assets in the pension system’s second pillar have surpassed 22 billion EUR, growing by approximately 3 billion EUR since the start of 2026. This increase was largely driven by fund performance, with non-guaranteed funds seeing returns between 9% and 17% through mid-August 2026. Despite this growth, concerns persist regarding the potential impact of political interventions on the stability of the pension system.
