The second reading of Czech GDP for 3Q has brought a slight upward revision. The figure was increased to 1.5% qoq from the previous estimate of 1.4%. The qoq rate of growth was thus similar to 2Q’s 1.3% qoq. Given the problems faced by industry, we consider this a very good result. Due to a higher base effect, yoy GDP growth slowed from 8.5% to 3.1%, as 3Q20 was already marked by a partial economic recovery. Economic activity is still about 2.5% below the pre-crisis 2019 level.
