European Union increases. Inflation is under control. Recent
accession to the EU gives further impetus and direction to
structural reform. In early 2004 the government passed increases in
the Value Added Tax (VAT) and tightened eligibility for social
benefits with the intention to bring the public finance gap down to
4% of GDP by 2006, but more difficult pension and healthcare reforms
will have to wait until after the next elections. Privatization of
the state-owned telecommunications firm Cesky Telecom is scheduled
to take place in 2005. Intensified restructuring among large
enterprises, improvements in the financial sector, and effective use
of available EU funds should strengthen output growth.
