As the 18th European Banking & Financial Forum (EBFF) drew to a close in Prague, the Czech Republic’s own banks went public with their own good news. Net profit of the five largest Czech banks rose by 24.3 percent to nearly Koruna 45.2bn in 2009. The announcement was something of a PR coup since banking’s great and the good (I use the term loosely) were in attendance.
All of the Czech Republic’s biggest banks posted stable results despite the impact of the economic crisis. In fact, it seems that the nation’s financial institutions have come through the global downturn almost unscathed. If the banking sector is stable and relatively healthy, then wouldn’t logic follow that investment inflows are also in rude health?
