Publication Date: 22. 04. 2025

Product Code: 050062-25

Based on regular consultations, Eurostat verified the data on the general government sector balance and the general government debt that were published in the news release on 2 April 2025. It was validated that the balance of the general government sector ended up with the deficit in the amount of 2.2% of the GDP in 2024. The general government sector debt reached 43.6% of the GDP in the end of 2024.

“Based on regular consultations, Eurostat verified and validated the general government deficit for the year 2024 in the amount of CZK 177.2 billion and the general government debt in the amount of 43.6% of the GDP,” Helena Houžvičková, Director of the Government and Financial Accounts Department of the Czech Statistical Office (CZSO), stated.

During the verification cycle, for the years 2023 and 2024, only an insignificant modification of interests has been made with an impact on consolidation of relations within the central government subsector. The aforementioned change does not have an influence on relative indicators of the balance and debt in the notification table.
