A recent McKinsey report says Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia can all expect strong growth partly because they are starting from rather low numbers, NBC channel's Scott McGrew says, opening an interview with Václav Muchna, CEO of the Czech Y Soft Corporation.

Foreign–based mother companies of some of the Czech Republic’s biggest firms last year claimed the second highest dividend yield from their local assets ever, according to calculations by the business daily E15, Radio Praha writes. A study by the consultancy company Bisnode suggests that the domination of foreign owned companies of the overall Czech economy has been dropping in recent years, though.

The Transatlantic Economy Report 2018 presents the most up-to-date facts and figures about the EU-US economic relationship. The research was conducted independently by Dan Hamilton and Joseph Quinlan of the Center for Transatlantic Relations, Johns Hopkins University. The study includes dedicated profiles for 30+ European countries and all US states. Value added by U.S.-owned foreign affiliates totaled an estimated $5.4 billion. Estimated affiliate employment in the Czech Republic is among the highest in eastern Europe, with American firms employing an estimated 96,084 workers in 2016, the report says.
