How Can the Czech National Bank Eliminate the Zero Lower Bound on Interest Rates? A Case Study
Katinová, Alexandra ; Havránek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Kolcunová, Dominika (referee)
The thesis provides case study research on the feasibility of the negative in- terest rate policy in the context of the Czech Republic. No major obstacles opposing the policy itself were found in the bases of the Czech legal system, however, a list of acts explicitly affected by the value of policy rates needs to be adjusted to prevent misinterpretations. Moreover, it was identified that tax prepayments held by the Tax Authority and free reserves kept at the Czech National Bank at zero interest rate create room for escaping from the policy. Additionally, debt repayments in cash and interest-free accounts of government and public institutions administrated by the Czech National Bank could lead to undesirable advantages. A complementary VAR model analysis of the interest rate transmission under negative policy rates was performed to evaluate quan- titatively the experience from European countries, however, short data series available provided merely indicative results.

The status and the role of central banks in the EU
Malíčková, Jana ; Bažantová, Ilona (advisor) ; Borkovec, Aleš (referee)
RESUMÉ - THE STATUS AND THE ROLE OF CENTRAL BANKS IN THE EU This diploma thesis compares the Czech National Bank, the Slovak National Bank, the Bundesbank and the European Central bank. Central banks play a significant role in every state and they have big influence on economy of each state. Therefore, their legal regulation as well as precise definition of their competencies are essential. The thesis focuses on their establishment, legal base and legal form, organisation and independence (institutional, financial, personal and functional). Its aim is also to compare tasks, monetary policy, issuance of banknotes and coins, banking and financial regulation and supervision. Establishment of a central bank depends significantly on the historical background of the given state (or union). All of the described banks are settled in regulations of the highest legal importance on the particular state (or union), which is not usual, and also in many other legal acts. Members of the highest body are selected after the agreement of the legislative and executive powers. The Czech National Bank is an exception, since the members of its Bank Board are appointed by the president without a counter signature. The budgets of the central banks are separated from the states' budgets and they are approved by the central banks....

Jirsová, Tereza ; Bažantová, Ilona (advisor) ; Dupáková, Lenka (referee)
1 ABSTRACT STATUS AND ROLE OF CENTRAL BANKS IN HISTORY This diploma thesis describes and compares the regulation and status of two central banks in our history, the central bank of the independent Czechoslovak Republic and the central bank of the Czech Republic. The aim of this thesis is to present and compare selected aspects of both central banks through the method of analysis and comparison. The hypothesis is that both banks, as central banks of democratic states, are similar in their regulation and status. The intention is to verify this hypothesis and find out whether the Czechoslovak Republic legislation was a source of inspiration for the creation of central banking legislation when the Czech Republic was established. The first part of the thesis describes the banking system, the characteristics and origin of central banking in the world and the Czech region. Subsequently, the circumstances of the establishment of the National Bank of Czechoslovakia and the Czech National Bank are presented. The second part deals with the constitutional and legal regulations of both central bank and the objectives of their activities. The third part characterizes the status of both central banks as regards legal form, bodies and degree of independence. Differences have prevailed in the compared aspects of central...

Relations of the central bank to commercial banks Abstract The thesis follows up the relations of the central bank towards commercial banks, with the main emphasis being placed on the Czech Republic, where the role of the central bank is carried out by the Czech National Bank. The main aim of this work is to describe and evaluate the relations between these institutions in terms of current legislation and focus on situations where this legislation does not evolve in the right direction. The first part of the thesis is theoretical and deals with the definition of institutions crucial for the topic itself. By both institutions, commercial banks and the central bank, are emphasized their legal anchoring and their main activities. Within this part, a separate chapter is devoted to the Czech National Bank and its independence, without which CNB would not be able to carry out its activities properly. This part will also analyze the banking system, which represents a summary of banking institutions in a certain state and a summary of individual links between them. The Czech banking system is also introduced here. The next part follows up the regulation and supervision of commercial banks. A separate chapter is devoted to the banking license. The Czech National Bank has the power to grant a banking license and it...
