Description
Summary:The key findings of the Czech Republic's 2010 Article IV Consultation are discussed. Large foreign direct investment inflows fostered trade integration, underpinning an export-led expansion.

This, combined with credible inflation targeting, resulted in generally low inflation and interest rates.
