The main focus of the publication is to share experiences of emerging economies on the example of Czech and Chinese economies, so they can learn from the developments of each other. It not only describes and summarizes the changes in the financial history of the two countries, but also addresses the future directions of financial changes.

Emerging economies have to face problems and questions, which are to some extent similar. Obviously, experiences of individual emerging economies are necessarily specific because of different historical situations, different international relations, traditions and other factors. Yet the authors believe that, “the in-depth exchange of experience and learnings in economic policies and other fields will help to promote mutual understanding and support bilateral cooperation between the countries,” as stated by Vladimír Tomšík, Ambassador of the Czech Republic to China during the event opening.
