| Abstract: | One of the bottlenecks of successful transformation in many sectors, and particularly the agricultural sector, in Central European post-socialist countries has been and continues to be the underdevelopment of the financial sector. Now that the phase of large macroeconomic changes is followed by one of adjustment and consolidation in the microeconomic sphere, banks with their financial and governance potential could play a vital role in reorganizing the agricultural sector towards a long-term viable structure. The aim of this article is twofold. First, to outline the peculiar nature and special challenges of post-socialist agricultural credit markets. Second, to explore these problems for the case of the Czech Republic. |
