Rezervy bank u České národní banky

This bachelor's thesis explores bank reserves and their role in the monetary policy of the Czech National Bank. The first part of the thesis focuses on theory, where bank reserves are defined and explained in more detail with regard to their main categorization into required reserves and excess reserves. The theoretical part also addresses the roles of both types of reserves within monetary policy and the issue of bank liquidity management. The second chapter is dedicated to a practical analysis of the development of reserves in the Czech banking system from 2000 to 2023. This practical part interprets and illustrates the theoretical knowledge from the first chapter using actual data and discusses the reasons behind, and the effectiveness of, managing excess bank reserves.
