Sýkorová, Kateřina ; Schlossberger, Otakar (advisor) ; Leová, Simona (referee)
This thesis deals with the development of Japanese banking system in wider social context from the establishment of the first banking institutions in Tokugawa era until present. Most attention is paid to its role during the emergence of the financial crisis at the turn of the 80s and 90s of the 20th century and the way it was affected by the crisis. This work describes the main causes of the crisis which can be identified not only in the behaviour of banking institutions, but also in the delayed and inadequate reaction of the Japanese government. The analysis of governmental anti-crisis measures and the reform efforts indicates that in fact only three of fourteen prime ministers from 1991 to 2012 came up with measures aimed at the resurgence and further development of the banking sector. In conclusion potential consequences of current economic policy, so called "Abenomics", for the banking sector, are discussed.

Mikrofinance v Mongolsku a v Centrální Asii
Turbat, Batbayar ; Janda, Karel (advisor) ; Leová, Simona (referee)
The theoretical literature on Microfinance claims that Microfinance methodology can help alleviate the poverty. Mongolia is one of the countries where Microfinance is implemented and said to be successful in building a deeper and broader access to financial services. The purpose of this paper is to investigate how well Microfinance is being implemented in Mongolia and what the current practice is and, most importantly, how well the microfinance methodology works. In order to answer the last question, data collected from the proximity of the Central Asian Region including Mongolia was used. Nowadays there are number of microfinance institutions operating Mongolia such as Xacbank, Credit Mongolia. Despite the previously informal microfinance bodies such pawnshops, it appears that there was still some room on the market for Microfinance to fit in. The achievements of these Microfinance institutions are remarkable given Mongolia's extremely low population density and weak infrastructure. Research on the effectiveness of microfinance methodologies are in demand. Therefore, this paper offers research on microfinance practices such as group lending, rural lending and targeting women as well. A panel data of 90 microfinance institutions in 8 countries from the region was used. The result is rather mixed. Targeting women and lending to the rural customers seem to be working. However, group lending is found to be increasing portfolio risk and while having no effect on the financial revenue and the profitability.
