Vliv zavedení Eura na transakční náklady MSP

Abstract

The European Monetary Union deals now days with a series of problems concerning with the indebtedness of some member states. From the EU side corrective arrangements are accepted such as The European semester, The Euro Plus Pact or the Euro area rescue mechanisms. Just the current situation in the euro area and the nonreformed public finance of the Czech Republic force significantly the uncertainty in case of setting a new date of the euro introduction. If the EMU copes with the current debt problems, Czech Republic will execute the planned public finance consolidation and if there is a euro-optimistic party in the government we can suppose that the Czech join the euro area project will lead into a successful ending. The article concerns with benefits of the euro introduction for the SME by removing the transaction costs. It offers a basic overview of the bank fees connected with the foreign exchange account administration and with the euro non-cash foreign payments at different banks. There are presented model situations and discussed the benefits and costs of the euro introduction and postponing of the euro introduction in the Czech Republic for the SME from the transaction costs point of view.
