Analysis of forestry financing in the Czech Republic in the period of transition to market economy

Abstract

ABSTRACT:The article is devoted to problems of forestry financing in the Czech Republic in the period of transition to market economy (1991)(1992)(1993)(1994)(1995)(1996)(1997)(1998)(1999). The policy of forestry financing is aimed above all at the provision and improvement of quality of sustainable non-market forest goods and services. Thirty programmes and 46 sub-programmes were analysed in the CR in 1991-1999. The level of financial support ranged from 909.4 mil. CZK to 1,501.7 CZK with the exception of 2,540.1 mil. CZK in 1991 (all in stable 1999 prices). On average, the support amounted to about 10% of the GDP created by the forestry sector in the given period.

Analysis of the sectoral innovation system for forestry of the Czech Republic. Does it even exist?

“…Contributions under the act were provided by particular ministries. A significant systemic change occurred in 2005 when responsibility for providing significant contributions was transferred from the Ministry of Agriculture to regional authorities, which resulted in the diversification of contributions and approaches to forestry support (Jarský, 2004;Šišák and Chytrý, 2004). A completely new situation occurred after joining the EU.…”
