Abstract

The aim of the paper is to discuss the use of corporate bonds in financial strategies in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and repercussions to the transition progress. We provide empirical data on the growing use of corporate bonds in CEE, discuss the level of development of the domestic corporate bond markets and the implications for company finance and the transition process. We argue that the comparatively low level of development of the domestic corporate bond markets may create impediments to economic growth during the continuing transition in the CEE. We discuss future prospects for CEE bond markets, the relationship to foreign direct investment and bank loans, and changes in financial strategies.

Keywords: Transition Progress, Financial Strategies, Corporate Bonds, FDI, Central European Countries
