Higher levels of business and consumer confidence will see demand growth , while deferred purchases from the previous period of uncertainty , particularly in enterprise software and IT services, will add to momentum. The pick-up in growth will cement the Czech IT market's status as a regional leader in Central and Eastern Europe, with a strong domestic skills base, investment by international firms, local entrepreneurship and high penetration of devices and solutions.
