The Czech central state budget is expected to exceed its planned deficit this year, Finance Minister Alena Schillerova said. The target was 241 billion crowns ($11.7 billion), but the deficit had already reached 266 billion crowns when she took office on December 15 and rose to 275 billion crowns just four days later.
The likely next Czech government rejected the outgoing administration’s draft 2026 budget on Monday, raising the possibility of a delayed approval and a higher-than-expected deficit.
