Nordic investment in the Czech Republic
2009/09/10
Nordic countries are not among the largest foreign investors in the Czech Republic, which is perhaps not surprising as they are not among the largest trading partners of the Czech Republic either. Nevertheless, Nordic investment is very important for the Czech Republic as it provides much welcome diversification.

American investment and the potential for the Czech Republic
2009/04/21
The American economy is still not in the best shape. Unemployment increased to 8.1% in February, the highest rate since 1983and higher than in some European countries that used to have generally always higher unemployment than the United States. The recovery is still not here and we will see how long it will take. This situation can influence global investment overall, either positively or negatively for different economies.

South Bohemia: The Pearl of the Czech Republic
2009/03/12
Sharing a border with both Austria and Germany, the Czech Republic’s South Bohemia region was attractive to settlers in past eras due to its favourable location. This advanced industrial region grew out of the originally melancholy region of Klostermanovská Šumava, a land of forests and fish ponds. South Bohemia’s natural beauty and rich history continue to ensure the development of the local travel industry, which comprises one of the pillars of business in the region.

The attraction of similarities
2009/02/24
It is said that Czechs are Slavic Germans. But based on numerous encounters with investors from the Netherlands, it is apparent that Czechs are really Slavic Netherlanders. The Dutch themselves have said that they have a lot in common with their Czech counterparts. This is possibly one of the reasons why the Czech Republic is visited by large numbers of Dutch tourists and why the Dutch comprise the second most active investment community in the country, immediately behind the Germans. In short, similarities are attractive.
