Because most of the CZ GDP is dependent on German economy. Czech is industrial country where main income is from supplying german market. If Germany is in deep sheet so is the Czechia.
Česko se drží spíš při zemi, protože jsme až moc závislí na autech, který dostaly během covidu a chipový krize ránu, a teď je ještě škrtí přechod na elektro. EU prachy a projekty se vlečou, a energetickej šok po odstřižení od ruskýho plynu zdražil výrobu. Do toho máme sice plnej trh práce, ale chybí lidi, hlavně ti kvalifikovaní, a populace stárne. ČNB zvedla sazby, aby zkrotila inflaci, což ale zároveň utlumilo investice a utrácení. A když většinu peněz spolknou nájmy a hypotéky, moc toho na rozhýbání ekonomiky nezůstane. K tomu všemu se přidává politika, domácí i zahraniční, která mění směr téměř denně a investorům to zrovna klid na duši nedává.

Covid crisis in 2020, followed by very hard Covid landing in 2021 followed by an immediate energy and supply chain crisis in 2022, followed by very high inflation in 2023.
2024 was the year of recovery and now in 2025 the economy is back on track. People like to blame the current government and while I am not a fan of it as well, it faced fundemental challenges from the previous government and had to deal with a very difficult situation.

Looking at the one-off percentage without context such as trend is nonsense.
If Czechia was doing better in the past why there should be a massive growth such as in Croatia, Bulgaria, Poland? This is just a one number telling you nothing about reality and I would recommend to OP to read the Factfulness book.

The last 5 years were really terrible for the country if you just look at the numbers w/o context. Not just GDP, but also real wage growth and other indicators were poor, but that was largely due to “suffer now, prosper later” mentality. Main reasons:
* Post-covid austerity and high interest rates to combat inflation, which was generally successful, but also significantly slowed down economic growth. On the other hand, our debt level is now under control (stable in relation to GDP) and generally significantly lower compared to regional competitors which results in lower cost of borrowing.
* High energy prices – as a result of the Ukraine war and reorientation away from Russian energy sources, which required a lot of capital investment and caused energy prices to skyrocket. On the other hand we are now independent of Russian oil supplies, removing a major external risk. Our economy is largely industrial, so we’ve been hit disproportionately severely by this.
* German misery – we’re tightly integrated with german economy both in terms of imports and exports, so their misery = our misery. Not much we can do about this sadly.
That said, economy is now recovering (2.4% growth YoY as of Q2 2025) and we’re seeing some decent real wage growth (3.9% YoY for Q1), so it looks like happier days are ahead.

Because you’ve got old data. We’re growing faster than the US now.

ODS.
Some of the reasons:
– high energy prices
– bureaucracy
– not enough qualified workforce
