摘要:The position of Czech public finances has been pronounced unsustainable by
economists, while politicians claim more or less the opposite. Correct judgment
is complicated by the purposeful use of arguments by the two groups in
disagreement, by use of different methodology to collect the data and above all,
by the fact that there is no precise benchmark for measuring the sustainability.
My work attempts to surpass those complications. It attempts to shed more light
on Czech public finances sustainability and to present further arguments,
presenting Czech public finances in widest international context possible and
using comparable, same-methodology based data, as well as different approaches
and angles public sector can be looked upon. Despite my believe that careful
reader should be allowed to arrive to his own conclusion, the analysis suggests
that concerns of economists about the future development of Czech public
finances are legitimate.
