This thesis deals with the activity of rating agencies and the sovereign rating in-fluence on debt service of the Czech Republic. In the theoretical part there is described the rating concept and its importance for society. Next there is described the history of the most significant rating agencies, so-called "The Big Three". The second part of this thesis is dedicated mainly to the sovereign rating of the Czech Republic that is compared with the sovereign ratings of other countries of the EU.

This thesis explains concepts related to the topic such as central government debt, government debt, public debt, budget system and more. The analytical part is focused on the development of central government debt of the Czech Republic and its structure in the years 2000-2014. The central government debt from the point of view of the holders is divided into domestic and foreign debt. Its development and the development of individual components of these debts are described. In the thesis are also mentioned factors, which influenced the decline in central government debt in 2014. The next section compares the evolution of central government debt in CR and selected EU countries, namely Estonia, France, Italy, Germany, Spain and Greece. The structure of central government debt of selected countries for the period 2000-2010 is also analyzed, especially the marketable state debt that dominates. Its main parts are treasury bills, short, medium and long-term bonds. The thesis also describes the development of the government debt of individual countries and explains its difference from the central government debt. Evolution of government debt, such as percentage of GDP for next year, for the years 2015-2017 is estimated in STATISTICA programme. The causes of the sovereign debt reported by some authors as well as some suggestions for their solution are discussed.

The aim of the diploma thesis is to analyze the development of the government debt in the Czech Republic, in particular in terms of its structure, the assessment of the sustainability of the current government debt level and the assessment of the setting and operation of debt management in the Czech Republic, in comparison with the recommendations of important international institutions. Used will work primarily analytical, synthetic and comparative methods. The first chapter introduces the theoretical definition of the concepts of public debt, including its causes, impacts and forms of coverage. Subsequently, the thesis deals with the theoretical approaches in the sphere of governement debt management. The next chapters assess the development of the government debt in the Czech Republic, its structure, institutional solution and overall debt management. Finally is evaluated the sustainability of the Czech Republic's current indebtedness and realized the comparison of debt management with IMF and World Bank recommendations.

This thesis focuses on the issue of indebtedness of Czech municipalities and their role in the total public debt. The first part represents the theoretical basis and legislation, which includes defining key terms. The practical part is focused on analyzing the evolution of indebtedness of local governments and of other levels of the public sector. The analysis was made on the basis of compiled time series of the debt for the period 1994-2014. The indebtedness of municipalities and counties had a growing trend during the reported period. In recent years, municipal debt, unlike regional, is stable. The share on debt of municipalities and regions is the size of the public debt is not significant. The largest share of the debt is government debt, which constantly grows from the begging of the period. Part of this work is to compare two methods of evaluating municipal debt, namely debt service and SIMU. Five selected municipalities were compiled both types of indicators for the period 2010-2014. Based on this comparison it was shown to have better presentation of the indicators SIMU than debt service. The thesis seeks to comprehensively evaluate the development of each level of indebtedness of the public sector in order to show, what proportion represents Czech municipalities.

This thesis deals with debt management carried out in the Czech Republic. Financial instruments (treasury bills, treasury bonds) which are used to manage state debt are described. Analysis for the Czech Republic encompasses period between years 1993 and 2008. It also contains comparison of debt management with selected OECD countries.

This diploma thesis deals with financing of central government deficit through the issue of government bonds and with overall context which is inextricably linked with this area. There is defined and discussed a basic terminology in terms of bond, budget system, budget deficit and public debt in the introductory theoretical chapters. We can find a description of development and management of central government debt in the Czech Republic in the next practical chapter of this diploma thesis. The gross borrowing requirements of the Czech Republic are largely covered by issue of government bonds and also by savings government bonds since 2011. The last chapter is devoted to the description of the process of a new euro-denominated issue of government bonds which is again shown on the example of the Czech Republic and its Ministry of Finance.

The thesis aims to analyze the development of relevant debt indicators, i.e. state budget deficit, public debt, government deficit and debt, but also debt and the deficit of the public health insurance. The management of public health insurance in the Czech Republic is analyzed as well. Last but not least, the goal is to find also the most important factors affecting the growth of debt indicators of public health insurance and determine the possible consequences of the deficit of the public health insurance. The theoretical part consists of three chapters. The first chapter concerns the general public finances and financial imbalances. Here is particularly important the subchapter about the budget system. The second chapter deals with the debt indicators, namely public debt and its affiliates, as well as budget deficits and specific deficits. All of these debt ratios are then analyzed in the analytical part of this thesis. The last chapter relates to public health insurance. Analytical part is divided into two major chapters. The first chapter analyzes the development of the state budget, public debt, government deficit and government debt in the Czech Republic. The entire analysis is divided into two periods, namely 1993 to 2003 and 2004 to 2014. This section contains the definition of the most important causes of development. The second part is devoted to the analysis of public health insurance, namely its evolution, current state, but also the development of debt indicators of public health insurance, which are analyzed again within the Czech Republic in two seasons. At the conclusion of this chapter are defined the most important factors influencing the evolution of debt indicators of public health insurance and the impact of a possible deficit of the public health insurance.

This thesis deals with the relationship between yield spreads on the sovereign bonds and their determinants with a primary focus on the Czech Republic. First, a homogeneous panel of Visegrad group countries (V4) was investigated by the pooled mean group (PMG) method of Pesaran et al. (1998). It was found that debt-to-gdp ratio along with VIX, the "fear gauge", are the main factors driving the spread dynamics in the V4 group. Based on the results from PMG estimation, we estimate a three-dimensional vector autoregression (VAR) model and structural VAR (SVAR) model in order to observe spread reactions on external shocks. Among the V4 group countries, Hungary exhibits the largest spread response to a VIX shock. Overall, the (S)VAR results confirmed that countries with higher levels of yields before crisis had also a stronger reaction to the market disturbances during 2007-2009. Furthermore, it was found that for the period 2010-2013, the standard model (macroeconomic fundamentals plus global risk aversion factors) provided less reliable results. As a remedy, financial soundness indicators were incorporated into the VAR model. We conclude that it is important to take into account country's financial sector vulnerabilities when describing the spread dynamics since 2010.

Legal aspects of customs duty The aim of my diploma thesis is to define the concept of customs duty, describe and analyze the current legal regulation of customs duty in the Czech Republic and European Union, to explain the process of determining the customs debt and to answer the question if customs duties and customs authorities are important today or not. The thesis is divided into five chapters. The first chapter is divided into three subchapters, which are focused on the characteristics and definition of custom duty, its functions and its types from a theoretical perspective. The second chapter deals with the history of customs duty and presents a brief description of its development in the present Czech Republic. It is divided into two subchapters; the first is dedicated to the development of customs duty until the establishment of Czechoslovakia, the second focuses on its development until the establishment of the independent Czech Republic. The third chapter focuses on the current customs legislation and also mentions some legislation that will become applicable in the future. It is divided into three subchapters. The first subchapter is devoted to the sources of customs law at the international level and also mentions some major international organizations. The second describes legislation...
