AmCham Letter to the Government on National Recovery Plan Priorities

We appreciate the opportunity to comment on the Czech National Recovery plan. Our comments are based on our chamber’s purpose to support the growth of Czech and American economic relationship and our goal to make the Czech Republic a top ten economy in the EU. We will therefore focus on areas of the recovery plan in which American business can contribute and which will increase the country’s innovative potential (the primary source of economic growth).
