A close seminar organized within the Challenging the Czech Tales on European Policies support by Open Society Foundations
First half of September brought number of important information for Eurozone. Firstly, the European Central Bank has – in spite of German’s disagreement – decided to unlimitedly purchase bonds of its southern member states. Furthermore, new proposals for strengthening the European banks’ supervision were introduced. These should later lead to the establishing of the so called Banking Union. Thirdly, German constitutional court decided that the European Stability Mechanism is not in contradiction with the German Basic Law. However, it limited German involvement in its commentary.
Are these events thresholds in the crises or integration development? How should the Czech Republic react and what does it mean for its position in the EU. How are these decisions going to influence Czech banks?
Speakers include:
- Oldřich Dědek, national coordinator for introducing Euro in the Czech Republic; professor at Charles University in Prague
- Pavel Mertlík, rector at Banking Institute College of Banking
- Petr Zahradník, project manager and consultant of the EU Office Česká spořitelna
