Original Abstract

Act Number 23/2017 Coll. stipulates the so-called fiscal rule vis-à-vis the regulation of indebtedness. Should a municipality fail to adhere to the rule and not reduce the debt, it faces the risk that the transfer of taxes from the state budget will be suspended, i.e. having its revenue significantly reduced. The period following economic stagnation (spring of 2020) will bring specific risks for the economic performance and indebtedness of municipalities. This article deals with the identification and analysis of these risks. The said analysis is conducted using qualitative methods; the level of risks is determined by qualified estimates. The most relevant risks on the part of municipalities are economic, political and legislative. A new risk is moral risk: disintegration of the current rules and fiscal (and ultimately decision-making) centralisation.
