Local time:

As one of the most stable, prosperous post-Communist states, the Czech Republic has avoided the worst of the credit crunch—essentially because the country’s privatized banks have a strong deposit base and robust capitalization. Growth has come principally from exports, tourism and foreign investment. However, similar to other countries, its export dependency on the Eurozone has constrained performance. While there are some risks, the risks are counterbalanced by plenty of opportunity.
