Abstract
The paper surveys the Czech banking sector from the perspective of corporate financing. The article presents the current state of the Czech financial market, and the importance of the banking sector for the economy. The questionnaire survey investigated main trends in the use of various products offered by the banking sector for financing, satisfaction of companies with banking products and overall confidence of business customers in the banking sector in the Czech Republic. Results of investigation and empirical study confirmed that the Czech banking sector is stable in long term, and that the enterprises in the Czech Republic most often turn to banks for necessary sources of financing. Bank loans were considered by respondents as the most important debt source of financing. In general, corporate customers are satisfied with products and services offered by banking sector and financial market in the Czech Republic. At the same time their confidence in the banking sector is on a high level. Findings of this article indicate that fundamental changes in the approach of Czech companies to financing cannot be expected in the near future, and the Czech Republic will continue to be ranked among bank oriented economies.
