From the Paper:

"During the early 90s, the Czech Republic appeared to be one of the most successful post-Communist states. However, in 1997 financial turmoil began to rapidly deflate that image. The country suffered a currency crisis brought on by poor export performance and an unbridled surge in domestic demand (caused by a decreasing value of real wages.) Its failure to develop a successful capital market as well as its lagging enterprise restructuring led to government-imposed austerity measures which cut spending by 2.5% of the GDP. Experts concluded that the economy's troubles were the fault of the government's overwhelming influence on the privatized economy. Private firm mismanagement was also a problem. At the beginning of 1998, the country had entered a crisis condition."
