Miroslav Zinger, former head of the Czech National Bank, opposes proposals to introduce new taxes on banks, 420on.cz reports. He emphasizes the role of banks as stabilizers of the economy and criticizes politicians’ arguments in favor of new taxes as unconvincing.
Banks have proven their stability and importance during economic shocks, so the expert urges not to burden them with new taxes. He also highlights the need for reforming state structures to move forward.
The expert also rejects justifications for introducing sectoral taxes, pointing out their inefficiency and noting that the problem lies not in money but in the functioning of the state. He suggests territorial reform as one of the ways to improve the situation in the country.
