The core of this bachelor thesis is an analysis of the euro introduction aftermath for the respective national economies, focusing on economic indicators such as GDP (gross domestic product) growth, unemployment rate, inflation, and BOP (balance of payments). The first part outlines the European integration development, the euro area membership criteria, and the benefits or drawbacks of monetary integration. The following section examines the post-socialist (post-communist) countries; it scans the process of transformation from a centrally-planned system to market economy, and presents the record of their economic growth. The practical part, utilising the macroeconomic indicators, contains the analysis of the development of the aforementioned economies after the introduction of the common currency, and these are subjected to further comparison based on the performance reports. The discussion provides findings and recommendations for the Czech Republic when entering the phase of the common currency introduction. This part also presents a comparison of impact on selected Central and Eastern European economies due to current financial crisis. The work presents explanatory charts and tables in order to facilitate general comprehension. The conclusion summarizes the findings of the work and offers adequate recommendations for the executive economic institutions
