Czech Republic.

The article highlights the economic and political outlook for the Czech Republic for the period 2011-2015. The coalition government is expected to have the ability to reform public finances owing to its hold on the majority of the parliament's lower house. In terms of economic policies, the government is expected to encounter resistance from opposition parties in its efforts to reform pensions, welfare and healthcare.
