Anotace:

The Covid-19 pandemic was an event on a global scale that had a negative impact on almost every society and economy of the world. The various governmental safety precautions and the economic crisis meant that many businesses had no way of generating income. Governments worldwide introduced financial support programs to help businesses survive. This paper aims to describe the programs that were available to Czech medium and large enterprises in the beginning months of the pandemic. The author also analyzes these programs by looking at available data and comparing them to similar programs in other countries. However, not all companies were eligible to receive financial aid. Correspondingly, the author also describes intercompany solutions to improve a company’s overall liquidity position. The author then presents case studies and summarizes the programs' efficiency on a macroeconomic scale. Finally, the author concludes the discussed topics and briefly presents his outlook on the future economic situation.
