Dopady bankovních a finančních krizí na ukrajinskou ekonomiku

The subject of this bachelor thesis is the examination of the impacts of the major banking and financial crises of the 21st century on the Ukrainian economy. The theoretical part defines the basic concepts, describes the causes and indicators of crises, and summarizes their consequences for the global economy. The analytical part focuses on four key events: the global financial crisis of 2007 - 2009, the economic recession following 2014, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the economic shocks caused by the Russian invasion in 2022. The study shows that all these crises led to a sharp decline in GDP, currency depreciation, rising inflation, and a deterioration of external balance and the country’s position in the world market. Although reforms of the banking sector and monetary policy have strengthened the resilience of the economy, Ukraine remains vulnerable to external shocks and political instability. The thesis concludes with an evaluation of the adopted measures and an outline of possible future developments depending on scenarios of the termination or prolongation of the military conflict.
