No. They are plagiarizing the State Department, and the material is in the public domain. Can we sue them? I'd love to. Koyaanis Qatsi

[edit] Cleanup requested

The article contains very obsolete facts and doesn't reflect current (post 2000) ones. It is much missing all the problems that happened here and its over-enthusiastic tone is very incorrect. I put cleanup tag here with hope of someone more knowledgeable will do the cleanup. Pavel Vozenilek 01:06, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Complete rewrite would be better. ackoz 23:53, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 1993 as a "crucial" date

I'd like to see the table of content redone and 1993 integrated as a crucial date.

  • it is the birth of the Czech Republic, so the real start of this article (before we are summarizing what should be Economy of Czechoslovakia
  • an important aspect thereof is the agreement between Czechia and Slovakia on the split of their economies (currency, federal state's debt, federal state's assets, etc.)

[edit] Rewrite

All of the state department stuff is still in the article, and is incredibly out of date now, talking about the year 2000 in the future tense, 7 years later. Czech has changed so much since 2000 that this article cannot be consisdered complete or accurate in any way now. 81.0.212.117 14:42, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Current account vs Trade balance

The article talks about current account deficits but then mostly talks about imports/exports, wouldn't it be better to discuss trade deficit? For example, Czechia has trade balance surplus but still runs current account deficit about 3% GDP mostly due to dividend transfers. If, in fact, using "current account" is better in this context, could it be explained in one or two sentences why? --Jirka6 04:24, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

This is one of the most outdated, incomplete and unbalanced articles I have seen on wiki. It really needs to be updated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.192.55.187 (talk) 15:57, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
