The most acceptable loans for the Czech public are for housing (79%), business (74%) and studies (72%), while the least acceptable are loans for holidays (3%) and Christmas presents (5%).
Opinions on the acceptability of loans for housing, business, studies and cars vary according to age (younger people report higher acceptability), education (more educated people report higher acceptability) and household income (those who are better off with their income report higher acceptability). No statistically significant association was found for the other items.

In a survey realized through the probabilistic online Our Society Panel, the Centre for Public Opinion Research of the Institute of Sociology of the CAS included questions from the AV21 Strategy Sustainable Food Production and Consumption in March 2025. The survey focused on the overall views and attitudes of the Czech public towards food shopping, packaging materials and preferences regarding shopping.
The part of the survey presented in this press release investigated preferences regarding personal diet, whether people limit certain dietary components and for what reasons, as well as to what extent Czech citizens are familiar with so-called novel foods and whether they regularly include these types of foods in their diet.

Czech citizens most often eat three (44%) or four (29%) meals a day.
Men are more likely to eat three meals a day (50% of men, 39% of women), while women are slightly more likely to eat four meals a day (24% of men, 32% of women). In terms of age, we then see that the proportion of people who regularly consume 3 meals a day also increases with age.
By far the most common meals people (themselves or someone in their household) prepare at home are breakfast and dinner, with around two thirds of people (66% breakfast, 69% dinner) preparing them 6 to 7 times a week. As for lunches, more than half of people (52%) prepare these at home 6 to 7 times a week.
The vast majority of people (97%) usually have dinner at home in a typical week, 70% have breakfast and the least often people have lunch at home (50%).

In the research Potraviny 2025, CVVM SOÚ AV ČR surveyed the opinions and attitudes of the Czech public towards food shopping, packaging materials and preferences regarding shopping. In this part of the research, we focused on shopping behaviour with respect to the environment, shopping with or without packaging or how relevant it is for Czech citizens to consider the environmental impact of food production

In the Potraviny (Food) 2025 survey, the CVVM SOÚ AV ČR surveyed the opinions and attitudes of the Czech public towards food shopping. Respondents reported what activities and shopping habits their households have, how much they spend on food per month, and according to what criteria and where they shop. In the next part of the research we focused on shopping behaviour that may contribute to or prevent food waste.

More than half of the Czech public (56%) consider food waste to be a major problem, more than two-fifths (41%) think food waste is not right but there are more urgent issues that need to be solved, and only 2% of Czech citizens do not consider food waste to be a society-wide problem.
Almost two thirds (65%) of citizens declare that the total amount of food wasted by their households does not exceed 10%. A fifth (20%) of respondents lean towards the option that their household throws away more than 10% but less than a quarter of the food. Only 3% of respondents admitted to throwing away more than a quarter but less than half of their food. Conversely, 12% of the public say that their household does not throw away any food.

The Czech public overwhelmingly (89%) agrees that the sovereignty of the state must be defended at all costs. Despite this, almost two-thirds (63%) of respondents doubt the Czech Republic's ability to defend itself if something were to happen. Just under half (47%) of respondents do not consider the defence of the Czech Republic to be essential because we are a small country whose fate is equally in the hands of the superpowers, but a comparable proportion of citizens think the opposite. Two-fifths of respondents (40%) think that our army is on a comparable level with the armies of Western countries, but a comparable proportion thinks that defence spending is just an unnecessary burden on the budget (39%). For these two statements, disagreement outweighs agreement, and is expressed by about half of the respondents.
Almost two-fifths (39%) of respondents are "definitely satisfied" with the Czech Republic's membership in NATO, and another almost two-fifths (37%) are "somewhat satisfied". Approximately one-seventh (13%) of respondents said they were dissatisfied with the fact that the Czech Republic is a NATO member.

The evaluation of the current situation in the world in terms of international relations (55% of responses rather+very bad), economy (44%), security (54%), conflict resolution (71%) or dealing with global environmental problems (53%) is mostly negative.
More than three-quarters of respondents (76%) said they felt some concern. Concerns about war are the most common: 38% of respondents ranked it first. Russia is perceived as a real security threat by respondents (63% of all answers). The USA (20%), China (19%) and Ukraine (7%) were next.

In a survey conducted in the second half of March 2025, the Center for Public Opinion Research asked a set of questions about the concerning the assessment of the material living conditions of their households, their expectations of the development of these conditions in the current year, as well as the financial and material situation of their households.

In a panel survey conducted in the second half of March 2025, The Public Opinion Research Centre included a block of questions related to the current political situation in the USA. Respondents were further asked to evaluate the performance of the current US President Donald Trump and his political advisor Elon Musk. We also examined how Czechs feel about the US foreign policy and how they perceive the Czech Republic's diplomatic relations with selected countries - whether they are an ally, a necessary partner, or an adversary for our republic.
