Welcome! I am Executive Director of the Research and Statistics Department at the Czech National Bank, where I lead research and statistical teams, set priorities, and was entrusted with developing new forecasting models for the Bank.
I work at the intersection of central banking, financial stability, and macro-financial policy. My research explores how monetary and macroprudential policies affect credit, banking, and the wider economy, and how climate and geopolitical risks shape financial systems.
Throughout my career I have aimed to bridge rigorous research and policy practice. I remain an active researcher, publishing in international journals and contributing to academic and policy debates.
