    * What: Czech November current account data 
    * When: Jan. 16 at 10 a.m. (0900 GMT) 
    * Monthly deficit seen little changed year-on-year at 11.5 
billion crowns 
     
    The Czech current account deficit 
is seen at 11.50 billion crowns ($538.1 million) in November 
, according to a Reuters poll of 12 analysts 
published on Friday. 
    Analysts cut their estimates for the monthly shortfall from 
a previous forecast of 14.0 billion crowns after better than 
expected November trade data on Tuesday. 
    The new median forecast puts the deficit at well below the 
26.2 billion crown gap in October 2006, but keeps it little 
changed from a 11.9 billion gap in November 2005.
