ABOUT CZECH REPUBLIC
The Czech Republic is considered one of the most dynamic and industralised countries in Central Europe, thanks to its advantageous geographical position, liberal regime for foreign capital, and highly skilled workforce. The inflow of foreign direct investment (FDI) into the Czech Republic nearly doubled on the year to USD 4.5 billion in the first half of 2010, according to data released by the country's Industry and Trade Ministry.

Trade between Singapore and the Czech Republic totalled SGD 1.22 billion in 2010, a 74.34% increase in trade value from 2009. Top traded products in 2010 are Office & Data Machines, Telecommunications Apparatus and Electrical Machinery with trade in Singapore’s favour. With the population’s growing affluence and buying power, together with the economy’s development, it is not surprising that the country is earmarked as one of the four central European countries for focus and one of the most popular countries for foreign investments.
