• #5: This topic has been chosen for the research because there is a gap in the literature on the effects of debt crisis, moreover the global financial crisis on the economy of countries of Visegrad. Most studies conducted in the past focused on the financial industry, international contagion of the global financial crisis and the performance of companies. The effects of the crisis on the economy of V4 countries were mainly limited to studies which explored the changes in financial situations of the countries. This research will contribute to the body of literature by providing the most recent evidence on the effects of the debt crisis on the economy of countries of Visegrad. In other words, impact on households (e. g. consumption), government (HDP/debt, unemployment rate, etc.), firms (banking sector, non-banking sector). According to this informations from my research, we see impact of debt crisis on V4 countries where are austerity measures needed. We would like to more focus on this issues in countries of V4, as a conclusion we would like to examine and develop this actual subject, so the research will extrapolate findings in succession research.

• #7: At this point we present the main goal of thesis as follows: to present a comprehensive and critical analysis of debt crisis on the Visegrad economies.   We derived from main goal following partial goals as follows: • to analyse the causes of the debt crisis, in short to determine the factors that influenced countries of V4 during crisis. In addition to access how debt crisis influenced the real economy, including financial and non-financial sector of the economy. to analyse real effective exchange rate of the euro vs. national curriences of Visegrad countries. In this regard, analysis of the nominal exchangre rate and real exchange rate. In sum, the analysis will focus on level of real interest rate of Visegrad countries. As market participants judged that the value of investments in these countries would no longer be vulnerable to erosion through currency depreciation. It means, low interest rates. In sum, that spurred heavy foreign borrowing by both the public and private sectors in the countries now facing debt crises. to assess capital inflows and daily impact of debt crisis on the productivity on the Visegrad economies. to arrive at a conclusion that foreign capital was used to support domestic consumption or housing booms rather than productivity enhancing investments.

• #9: The global financial and economic crisis has hit most countries of central, eastern and south-eastern Europe (CESEE) harder than other countries in the world, and post-crisis recovery is also generally slower for CESEE countries than in other emerging economies. Viewed in this light, this raises questions about the pre-crisis and post-crisis development model of the region, which was a unique model that resulted in rapid economic growth. Moreover, the vision of EU integration and EU accession talks drove reform and still provide institutional, legal and behavioural anchors for those CESEE countries that are not yet EU members. First, adoption of the euro led to convergence of interest rates in countries to the levels in core countries, second in combination with rising capital inflows owing to greater financial integration, third set off a consumption, fourth real estate boom in the countries. These factors resulted to higher growth and increases in government revenue and spending. On the other hand, appreciation led to a loss of competitiveness in the countries, adversely affecting export performance and causing rising current account imbalances. In sum, euro exacerbated intra-European imbalances whose unsustainability triggered the current sovereign debt crisis.
• #11: social and economic statistics from the Visegrad countries indicators (e. g. variables of inflation rate, interest rates, government sector deficit, change of exchange rates, PPP) statistical software, Eviews, SAS will be used to estimate the descriptive summary statistics of the macroeconomic factors, cross-tabulations of responses, OLS, ANOVA, etc. Regression analysis is then applied to the data to assess the statistical significance of the factors that determined household, governments, firms behaviour during the debt crisis. We will formulate testing hypothesis related to research questions that will be examining through e. g. The ‘Student’ t-test, Chi-test, method of least squares MLS, analysis of variance ANOVA by using softwares Eviews, SAS, R. We would like to use rating analyses fundamental quality of a rated subject, security and debt, due to fact that rating is a basic aggregate indicator of economic situation of rated country.

• #15: Sobjak, A. (2013) pointed out that a sharp fall in GDP, decrease in exports due to falling demand in the EU, a decline in industrial production and the construction sector and an outflow of capital from the region are common effects of the global crisis on Central Europe (or CE: Slovenia plus the four Visegrad Group countries, which are the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia). The ensuing drying up of foreign capital has in turn led to a credit crunch and a scramble for liquidity, which mutually fed each other. On the other hand, with the overall slowdown of economic growth and contraction of GDP, unemployment has risen, halting strong job creation dynamics that prevailed during the pre-crisis period. In short, this chain reaction was made possible due to a series of common vulnerabilities in the region’s economies. While many of these, such as the credit boom and generally high levels of debt, are shared by fellow Member States, there are a number of common features in the CE economies that have brought about specific problems during the crisis.
• #16: In this section, we want to examine the dependence, moreover how changes in following factors x: Gross operating expense in the country (US Million), Shareholders' equity, SWF assets (US billion), Balance Sheet, income: total assets (US Million), Total reserves (includes gold, current US) may affected businesses in the countries that set up SWF. Variable of business (US mln) provides information on number of companies and employees, gross premiums, within the sector in the country that set up SWF. In sum, the number of domestic undertakings, foreign controlled undertakings, branches and agencies of foreign undertakings. In other words, we use data of 18 countries that set up SWF, available data from OECD database of 2013, World Bank Database of 2013 and Sovereign Wealth Fund Institute 2015. In this context, Sovereign Wealth Fund presents 77 SWF´s in 58 countries around the world, with total assets US 7.071.2 tn in January of 2015. The question is: How conditions of the country that set up SWF, that are mentioned above may affect businesses. We observed following countries: Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Hong Kong, China, Chile, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Panama, Peru, Singapore, United States.
• #19: SWF´s use their portfolios to achieve social goal, at the expense of the value and performance of the firm. The demand for gold increases during inflationary times due to its inherent value and limited supply. Anyway China holds huge U.S. dollar-denominated assets, but the U.S. dollar has been weakening on the exchange markets, and resulting in a relative loss of wealth. We may say that in the case of fluctuations in exchange rates, defense before inflation so a central banks must continually increase the amount of its reserves to maintain the same exchange rates. In this regard of the econometric specification, time horizons, country groupings, influence of the size of an economy always plays a positive and highly significant role in affecting a country in terms of investments.
• #23: The European Commission is forecasting growth in 2015 of 1.3%, which would be the euro area's best outcome since 2011 when it grew by 1.6%. Still, it's hard to get excited. France and Italy, the zone's second- and third-largest economies, stagnated in the final quarter of the year, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 for more detailes. Greece's return to the headlines has the potential to unsettle markets. And fears grow that the 19-member currency club may fall into deflation: prices are falling in Germany, France and Spain. The ECB has adopted measures to boost prices and growth, most notably by agreeing to a controversial programme of quantitative easing, but it did so for a reason, according to data from Economist.
• #24: Generally, financial instituions hold on to their reserves rather than extend loans. Slower loan growth, in turn, could weigh on economic growth and make the crisis worse. As a result, the ECB sought to boost the banks' balance sheets to help forestall this potential issue. However, each investor´s reaction pay attention on news from Europe, moreover European bank stocks and the European markets. They performed much worse than their global counterparts during the times when the crisis was on center stage. The bond markets of the affected nations also performed poorly, as rising yields means that prices are falling. At the same time, yields on U.S. Treasuries fell to historically low levels in a reflection of investors’ flight to safety. The political implications of the crisis are especially cutting expenses to reduce the gap between revenues and expenditure. Second, the possibility that one or more European countries would be abanddon for the euro. On one hand, leaving the euro would allow a country to pursue its own independent policy rather than being subject to the common policy for the 19 nations using the currency. But on the other hand, it would be an event of unprecedented magnitude for the global economy and financial markets. This concern contributed to periodic weakness in the euro relative to other major global currencies during the crisis period.
