Příčiny zadluženosti Řecka v letech 2004-2019

This bachelor thesis deals with the causes of Greece's indebtedness and its effects on the economy. The aim of the bachelor's thesis is to find out which factors had the greatest effect on Greece's enormous indebtedness. First, the work presents the basic concepts that explain public debt, how it arises, what are the possible solutions and how the balancing processes of the balance of payments work. The second chapter deals with the historical possible connection with the rise of Greece's debt, which began in the 20th century. These include excessive dependence on foreign countries, unstable politics, an overcrowded state sector, enormous government spending, or migration policy. The last third chapter discusses the somewhat non-transparent accession of Greece to the European Union and other factors contributing to the deepening of public debt. The development of macroeconomic variables (inflation rate, unemployment rate, poverty rate) between 2004-2019 is also discussed. It also mentions the follow-up measures taken to address the debt crisis in Greece and the effects of this crisis on the Greek economy. At the end of the work is the rating of the country and the prediction of economic development of Greece.
