The diploma thesis deals with impacts of Czech national bank's (ČNB) monetary policy on the real economy during the transformation process in nineties of 20th century. The transformation process started by approval Program of national reform ("Scénář ekonomické reformy"). The main objective of the transformation process was to ensure macroeconomics stability with the emphasis on price stability. The consequences of the monetary policy result from the chronological comparison of the economy and the monetary policy development, which I divided into various periods of the 90s of 20th century. The restrictive character of monetary policy provided macroeconomic stability in the first half of the nineties. In the second half of nineties the real economy was negative influenced by inadequate interventions of NB (growth of minimum reserve requirements and growth of basic interest rate). The result of this was the slowdown of economy and its consequent decline. The economy was slightly stimulated by the end of nineties, which was caused by new mode of monetary policy of the NB and new mode of exchange rate. In the conclusion of the diploma thesis I give a brief description of the transformation process on the Hungarian, Polish and Slovak economies.

The assertion that financial flows are the primary drivers of exchange rates may be considered as financial markets become increasingly large and sophisticated. However, the Post-Keynesian critique leaves little room for the real economy to impact exchange rates. This paper aims to extend the Mundell-Fleming model to address the Post-Keynesian critique of mainstream models, by incorporating wealth effects, expectations, and Taylor-rule interest targeting. Discussion of significant financial events affecting the USDJPY exchange rate finds that wealth effects are significant considerations, and that the real economy cannot be discounted completely. Empirical results find that the real interest rate is a significant factor in exchange rate determination, tying into the discussion over the relationship between savings and consumption.

A financial crisis in 2007 changed the development of the global financial system. A lot of financial innovations, although they cannot be considered the only reason of the crisis, affected the critical situation reasonably. The initial crisis of the financial system soon transferred into real economy. German banking system suffered from negative effects of the financial crisis. The federal government sets up a Special fund for stabilization of the financial market (Soffin) to help the financial sector. Germany is the second largest exporter in the world and the fall of the foreign demand meant a depression of its export. The Czech financial system (banking) was not affected too seriously during the initial period of the financial crisis. The main reason of this was that the majority of Czech banks are controlled by foreign subjects which meant that risky businesses were implemented by principal companies. The crisis transferred into real economy through the channel of foreign trade.
