Five Ways to Invest in the Czech Republic

When the Prague Stock Exchange started in the mid 1990s, shares in 1700+ companies could be traded. Almost all of these companies have since been delisted.

My wife and I have stock certificates from several Czech companies that we want to sell.

A buyer could regard these certificates as an equities investment. It is possible to perform “due diligence” at the following websites:

Obchodni rejstrik (portal.justice.cz/uvod...)
Obchodni rejstrik is maintained on the official server of the Czech Ministry of Justice.

Obchodni vestnik (ov.ihned.cz/)
Obchodni vestnik is maintained by the company ECONOMIA a.s. for the Czech Ministry of the Interior (i.e. the ministry that includes the Czech police).

IPoint (ipoint.financninoviny....)
IPoint is maintained by the Czech Capital Information Agency (Ceska kapitalova informacni agentura, a.s., CEKIA), a leading domestic provider of corporate databases and economic information.


A buyer could also regard these certificates as “collectibles”, especially given that most companies in the Czech Republic have very few outstanding shares.

If you would like to receive a detailed list of the stock certificates that we are selling, including name of company, identification number, number of certificates, and price per certificate, please contact us by email.

Five Ways to Invest in the Czech Republic

I’m an American who has lived in the Czech Republic for the last 17+ years.

The biggest problem with this article is the inclusion of CZECH REPUBLIC RESOURCES [CZHC.PK] in the list of “ways to invest in the Czech Republic”. Quite frankly, I have serious doubts about the integrity of the person who wrote this article.

GlobalTrekker, if you are a day trader, then of course you don’t want to invest in these companies. However, if the share price is low and you are a real…sorry…long-term investor, you can’t find better stocks ***that are still listed on the Prague Stock Exchange*** than these four companies.
