The new Czech government intends to prepare guarantee and insurance programmes for companies planning to operate in the Ukrainian market in order to reduce the risks associated with project implementation and deliveries, said First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic Karel Havlíček.
Havlíček noted that Ukraine was previously among the Czech Republic’s five largest trading partners outside the EU, and, in his estimation, mutual trade is showing signs of recovery after a decline during the war. He stressed that the state can play a practical role in helping businesses participate in projects in the energy sector, transport infrastructure and, in particular, the construction of hospitals.
According to the official, teams from both countries are already working on economic contacts, initially online, followed by face-to-face meetings between business representatives and relevant government agencies.
As reported, the new Czech government headed by Andrej Babiš was sworn in on 15 December 2025.
