Evaluation of Macroeconomic Development and State of Economics of Bulgaria
Iliev, Pavel Sashev ; Stará, Dana (advisor) ; Burian, Stanislav (referee)
The graduation thesis is focused on the macroeconomic development of Bulgaria
and on its current economic position. The theoretical part of the thesis defines the main
macroeconomic categories and describes the fiscal and monetary policies of the country, the functions of the Bulgarian National Bank, the currency regime, the tax system and the
historic development of the Bulgarian economy.
The current macroeconomic position of Bulgaria is relatively stable. The annual
growth of the country's GDP was 1.6% in 2014 and 3.1% in 2015, according to
preliminary data. The GDP per capita of Bulgaria has increased by more than 80% since
the year 2000. 2014 and 2015 were marked by deflation. The unemployment rate started
decreasing in 2014, but is still quite high. Foreign direct investments are increasing
relatively slowly, but are otherwise oriented on important export sectors of the economics.
All balance of payments accounts in Bulgaria were positive in 2014. The state budget in
the past 5 years has been in deficit, which passed the 3% of GDP mark in 2014. Slow
reforms in the judiciary and administrative systems are the most significant difficulties the
country's macroeconomic development is facing.

National Accounts of the Czech Republic and Drug Production, Trade and Consumption as their Components
MARKOVÁ, Kateřina
The thesis deals with the topic of the national accounts of the Czech Republic and drug production, trade and consumption as their components. Drug issues have recently been a current topic even in the scope of the national economy of the Czech Republic. National accounts of the Czech Republic are compiled according to the international standard of the European system of national and regional accounts ESA 1995. It states that economy must be described fully, i.e. not only legal, but also illegal economy is to be described. Drug production, trade and consumption are components of the illegal, non-observed economy. The estimates of illegal activities concerning drug production, trade and consumption were not included in the national accounts. This is to be changed in 2011, when, according to the requirements of ESA95, the national accounts of the Czech Republic are going to be revised. The major goal of the thesis is to create a coherent material, which would illustrate drug issues from the macroeconomic perspective in the way they will be described in the system of national accounts of the Czech Republic. In the thesis I focus on individual drugs and their position on the drug market, familiarise readers with illegal economy in the way it is dealt with in the national accounts and I also cover methods for estimating the drug market for the system of national accounting.
