Czechia: An Open Economy at the Heart of Europe
30.10.2025 / 11:29 | Aktualizováno: 30.10.2025 / 11:41
Czechia stands as one of Europe’s most dynamic and open economies, strategically positioned in the heart of the continent. Our economic performance reflects this outward orientation. With exports accounting for approximately 69% of GDP, international trade is not merely important to the Czech economy—it is fundamental to our national prosperity.
Czechia - an open and export-oriented country
The breadth and sophistication of Czech exports demonstrate the country’s industrial prowess: from automotive components and machinery to computers, electronic equipment, and advanced manufacturing technologies. This export growth is not only sustained but accelerating, with Czech companies successfully diversifying into new markets beyond our traditional European partners. Czechia’s open market philosophy, stable business environment, and highly skilled workforce make it an attractive partner for international commerce and investment.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and You
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic plays a central coordinating role in supporting Czech economic interests abroad. It coordinates export assistance programs, facilitates high-level business visits, and provides territorial intelligence that enables Czech companies to navigate foreign markets successfully. The Ministry’s network of diplomatic missions worldwide—working in close coordination with honorary consuls—creates the institutional foundation for promoting bilateral trade relations.
As an honorary consul, you serve as the Ministry’s eyes and ears on the ground, identifying opportunities and opening doors for Czech business interests in your consular district. Your work has the unique quality in extending the Ministry’s reach into your country’s business hubs where direct, everyday diplomatic presence may be limited, yet commercial opportunities abound. This makes honorary consuls particularly valuable in developing trade networks and investment opportunities that elevate both national economies along the value chain.
