Japonský bankovní systém se zaměřením na finanční krizi 90. let

This thesis deals with the development of Japanese banking system in wider social context from the establishment of the first banking institutions in Tokugawa era until present. Most attention is paid to its role during the emergence of the financial crisis at the turn of the 80s and 90s of the 20th century and the way it was affected by the crisis. This work describes the main causes of the crisis which can be identified not only in the behaviour of banking institutions, but also in the delayed and inadequate reaction of the Japanese government. The analysis of governmental anti-crisis measures and the reform efforts indicates that in fact only three of fourteen prime ministers from 1991 to 2012 came up with measures aimed at the resurgence and further development of the banking sector. In conclusion potential consequences of current economic policy, so called "Abenomics", for the banking sector, are discussed.
