This diploma thesis focuses on the development of the interbank market liquidity and interest rates in the Czech interbank market with special focus on the period of global crisis. We analyze determinants of the interbank interest rates and their development with respect to the key monetary policy rate. We explain the significant departure of the interbank interest rates from the key monetary policy rate (impairment of monetary policy transmission) during the global crisis by an increase in risk premia on interbank lending. The source of the risk premia is decomposed into the individual components such as liquidity risk, counterparty risk, foreign influence and other factors. Their contribution to the overall risk premia over time during the global crisis is analyzed. We find that the liquidity risk was the key determinant of tensions in the Czech interbank market in the beginning of the global crisis. However, its influence weakened over time while the role of counterparty risk increased. Keywords: interbank market, liquidity, interest rates, crisis, risk premia, credit risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk JEL classification: G190, G210

D.Com. (Economics) / The objective of the study was mainly to examine the effect of the U.S. dollar on the competitive advantage of South Africa.The theoretical framework explaining the competitive position of a country in the global market place was examined in Chapter II. The complexity of the variables involved is evident from the many different points of view put forward by economists, not only in respect of the. concept competitive advantage of a country, but also in respect of the criteria that should be used to evaluate such competitiveness. It is, however, evident that the phenomena involved in evaluating the competitive position of a country cannot be separated from the theories explaining the flow of goods and services between countries. Only a minor part of such flows can be explained in terms of the traditional international trade theories. Most of the trade over borders occurs between countries differing very little from each other as far as tastes and factor ...
