Comparison of the Process of Transformation of the Banking in Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic

This work aims to analyse the development of banking systems in the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic which followed after the splitting from the former Czechoslovakia. The theoretical part of the work describes the initial situation that is the centrally planned economy and the central banking in Czechoslovakia. Furthermore, the research methods on the basis of which the success of transformation in both countries will be compared are stated. The practical part is devoted to banking after 1989. First, it analyses the joint office of the states between the years 1989 - 1992. Further, it compares the two banking systems in the course of 1990s according to specified criteria, up to the beginning of the new millennium when the privatization of the largest banking institutions was finalized. In the end, we managed to verify the hypothesis that the Czech banking transformation has been more successful than the Slovak one.
