Czech Radio, which carried a report on the study, said six out of 10 households have a loan of some kind. One-third have a mortgage, and one-fifth regularly carry over credit card debt, according to the survey for Home Credit, which was founded in the Czech Republic in 1997, but is based in the Netherlands.
Recent studies have shown that Czechs are borrowing more but missing payments or defaulting less, due to the low unemployment rate and steady economic growth, Czech Radio said.
Producing journalism that is worthy of the name is a costly business. For over 30 years, the publishers, editors and reporters of the Budapest Business Journal have striven to bring you business news that works, information that you can trust, that is factual, accurate and presented without fear or favor.Newspaper organizations across the globe have struggled to find a business model that allows them to continue to excel, without compromising their ability to perform. Most recently, some have experimented with the idea of involving their most important stakeholders, their readers.
