In January 2025, the unemployment rate in the Czech Republic rose to 4.3%, up from 4.1% in December. This increase is the highest since the turn of 2020 and 2021, when unemployment reached the same level, but at that time, it was influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic. Trinity Bank's chief economist, Lukáš Kovanda, statesthat the situation arose due to a combination of seasonal factors and an overall cooling of the labor market. What impact does this have on the industry in the Czech Republic and the supply of metallurgical materials?
