The central focus is on the issues that policymakers in central Europe face as they craft macroeconomic and financial sector policies to help ensure growth that is both strong and sustainable, in a setting that may feature large and potentially volatile capital flows. It examines the competing pressures on these countries in the run-up to EU accession later, and monetary union.BooksFinanceEurope, CentralBanks and bankingEurope, CentralPrivatizationEurope, CentralBanks and BankingimfForeign ExchangeimfInflationimfPublic FinanceimfProduction and Operations ManagementimfIndustries: Financial ServicesimfBanksimfDepository InstitutionsimfMicro Finance InstitutionsimfMortgagesimfFiscal PolicyimfPrice LevelimfDeflationimfNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: GeneralimfMacroeconomicsimfCurrencyimfForeign exchangeimfBankingimfPublic finance & taxationimfMonetary economicsimfFinanceimfExchange ratesimfExpenditureimfTotal factor productivityimfFiscal policyimfCommercial banksimfFinancial institutionsimfPricesimfFinancial sectorimfEconomic sectorsimfBanks and bankingimfIndustrial productivityimfFinancial services industryimfEurope, CentralEconomic conditionsEuropeEconomic integrationCzech RepublicimfFinanceBanks and bankingPrivatizationBanks and BankingForeign ExchangeInflationPublic FinanceProduction and Operations ManagementIndustries: Financial ServicesBanksDepository InstitutionsMicro Finance InstitutionsMortgagesFiscal PolicyPrice LevelDeflationNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: GeneralMacroeconomicsCurrencyForeign exchangeBankingPublic finance & taxationMonetary economicsFinanceExchange ratesExpenditureTotal factor productivityFiscal policyCommercial banksFinancial institutionsPricesFinancial sectorEconomic sectorsBanks and bankingIndustrial productivityFinancial services industry330.943International Monetary Fund.DcWaIMFBOOK9910814670203321Into the EU4098573UNINA
