Karel Havlicek, a long-time fan of Ronald Reagan’s economic policies and the first deputy premier to billionaire Prime Minister Andrej Babis, announced the government may decide by early next year whether to sell stakes in state-owned explosives maker Explosia and Prague airport operator Letiste Praha. Havlicek, tasked with boosting Czech investments and growth, stated the state is on a path to revive long-dormant asset sales. The potential divestitures mark a significant shift in policy under the current administration.

Analysts suggest the moves could attract foreign investment and streamline state holdings. The decisions are expected to be finalized in the coming months, pending cabinet approval. Havlicek’s role bridges economic theory and practical governance, reflecting the administration's focus on modernization.
