Czech Republic foreign debt and capital outflows

Overview

The Czech Republic is experiencing significant trends regarding foreign debt and capital movement. In the second quarter of 2026, foreign debt reached 6.1 trillion CZK, with the private sector holding 76.3 percent of the total indebtedness.

By October 2026, data indicated substantial capital outflows to foreign owners. Dividends paid to foreign entities averaged nearly one billion CZK per day in 2025, as the ratio of reinvested profits to dividends shifted from a 50:50 split to approximately 30:70.

During this period, the economy also faced a worsening foreign trade deficit, which stood at 5.3 billion CZK. While industrial production showed year-on-year growth, the rate slowed from July to August, and construction production declined.
