Portu, ČSÚ: If price of petrol followed growth of average net wage in Czechia since 1989, one litre would currently cost approximately CZK 124/EUR 5. Purchasing power of Czechs increased approximately threefold over past 36 years, when price of Natural 95 raised from CZK 8/EUR 0.33 to CZK 34.46/EUR 1.42 per liter in 1989-2025 (+331%), but Czech salaries grew from CZK 2,500/EUR 100 to CZK 38,815/EUR 1,600 (+1453%) on average. Gasoline thus became roughly three times cheaper in real terms, when at that time Czech bought 312 litres for average wage, but last year 1,126 liters

Project made significant progress in recent years – completion of definitive feasibility study/DFS and submission of EIA documentation to Ministry of Environment (December 2025), awarding subsidy of maximum of EUR 350 million/CZK 8.8 billion for construction of lithium processing plant in Prunéřov near Chomutov from Strategic Investments for Climate Neutral Economy programme (November 2025), receiving grant of CZK 800 million/EUR 32 million from Fair Transition Fund (April 2025), inclusion by European Commission among strategic projects under Critical Raw Materials Act/CRMA regulation (March 2025), changing location of processing plant from Dukla industrial zone near Újezdeček to Prunéřov to site of former coal-fired power plant (April 2024), EBRD invested EUR 6 million in EMH shares and currently holds 5.18% interest (July 2023), redemption of land and options in Dukla location for CZK 966 million (June 2023), EMH approved transfer of 51% stake to ČEZ by increasing Geomet's capital by EUR 29.1 million (April 2020), EMH acquired Geomet (February 2014), Geomet founded (November 2007). This to be followed by preparation of documentation for building permit. Investor expects mining to begin in 2030. Mining operation and raw material processing plant to directly create approximately 2,000 jobs, with further 2,000 jobs created in downstream supply chain.

Sales of new light vehicles in USA fell in March as well as in Q1 (JD Power/GlobalData: -14.8%, -7.4% to 3.66 million; Cox Automotive: -14.2%, -12% after revision, -6.5% to 3.67 million; S&P Global Mobility: -13.7%, -5.1% to 3.7 million; Edmunds: n/a, -6.3% to 3.69 million). March 2025 sales were inflated by consumers who rushed to showrooms in anticipation of big increase in vehicle prices due to tariffs. Putting aside last year’s results, March 2026 shows continued strong demand for new vehicles, despite concerns around fuel prices and economic uncertainty. In fact, March results would have been even stronger were it not for unusually low availability of one of the industry’s best-selling vehicles (Ford F-Series/F-150), King (JD Power) said
