Czech industry closed 2025 on a positive note as the manufacturing PMI rose to 50.4 in December, up from 48.0 in November, moving back into expansion territory for the first time since June. The December reading marks the strongest sentiment in the sector in more than three years and points to very mild growth at the end of the year.

The PMI’s jump above the 50 threshold signals an uptick in manufacturing activity after months in contraction territory. A reading of 50.4 indicates only modest expansion, but it nonetheless reverses the downward trend observed through much of 2025.

As a leading indicator of industrial health, the PMI’s improvement suggests easing pressures in production and order books heading into 2026, offering a cautiously positive signal for the Czech economy. #PMI #CzechIndustry #CzechRepublic #FiatNews
