Czech industry’s good condition is confirmed by the fact that a large portion of Czech firms want to continue with investments, in many cases beyond the framework of upgrades and reconstructions. The companies also plan to raise wages by the average of 2.7% in 2016. Companies plan to boost their employee bases by 0.6%. This stems from the survey carried out by the Confederation of Industry (SP ČR) and the Czech National Bank (CNB) among domestic companies, using data from 169 respondents.
