Petra is the Czech Business Review's in-house Market and Czech Economy Specialist, covering the macro and policy stories underneath the country's business headlines: monetary policy, national economic data, EU-level regulation as it lands on Czech firms, and the infrastructure decisions — energy, banking, digital — that shape the operating environment for companies here. She writes for readers who need the number behind the headline, not just the headline, and her pieces tend to sit closest to primary sources: central bank reports, ministry filings, EU legislative texts, and company disclosures, rather than secondary commentary.

Petra joined the Review as part of its core editorial team and is the only staff economist on masthead, which shapes how her byline is used editorially: she is the Review's anchor voice on stories requiring sustained tracking over time — nuclear energy investment, banking-sector technology adoption, national AI infrastructure — where a single article is really one entry in an ongoing beat rather than a standalone piece. Readers who want the Review's most consistent, data-first read on where the Czech economy is actually headed, as opposed to where the press release says it's headed, should look for her byline first.

When she isn't tracking Czech National Bank releases or EU Council press cycles, Petra focuses on making dense policy and market data legible to a general business readership — a skill that shows up in how her articles are structured, usually opening with the concrete number and working outward to what it means, rather than the reverse.
