The Czech business environment is increasingly confusing, corruption among government clerks is growing and the work of the courts is worsening, a poll of business people has shown.
The poll, jointly conducted by the Czech Economic Chamber (HKCR) and the SPS business association, found that up to 53 per cent of businesses and company managers perceive the valid laws on businesses to be rather confusing and another 20 per cent think they are completely confusing.
Less than 4 per cent of those polled said they thought the laws were clear and a mere three per cent said the situation had improved, against 32 per cent who said it had worsened.
