The Czech National Bank said June annual inflation fell unexpectedly to 1.5% from 2.1%, below its 2.1% spring forecast, mainly because food prices dropped sharply and fuel prices partially corrected. Core inflation eased only slightly to 2.8%, and the bank said persistent services inflation and stronger global inflation pressures still warrant caution. It expects headline inflation to remain around 2% in the second half of 2026 and slightly above that level at year-end.
