The ministry says the rise is due to the increase in drawing money from EU funds. The positive difference between receiving EU funding and contributing to the EU budget places the Czech Republic among the list of so-called net recipient states.
These include all three of the other Central European Visegrad 4 states (Poland, Slovakia, and Hungary). Meanwhile, Germany and France rank at the top of EU contributor states, Czech Radio says.
