May 12, 2020 CHANGE TO THE DELIVERY PROCEDURES FOR SEVERAL CURRENCY PAIR FUTURES CONTRACTS Effective commencing with the June 2020 expiries1, the Exchange is implementing amendments to Rule 16.04 that revise the physical delivery procedure for the following Currency Pair Futures Contracts (collectively, “the Non-CLS Delivery Contracts”): U.S. Dollar/Hungarian Forint (Contract Symbol VU) U.S. Dollar/Czech Koruna (Contract Symbol VC) Euro/Hungarian Forint (Contract Symbol HR) Euro/Czech Koruna (Contract Symbol EZ) Polish zloty/U.S. Dollar (Contract Symbol PLN) Polish Zloty/Euro (Contract Symbol PLE) Turkish Lira/U.S. Dollar (Contract Symbol TRM) Turkish Lira/Euro (Contract Symbol ETR) In the new delivery process for the Non-CLS Delivery Contracts, Clearing Members making and taking delivery of any of the contracts for their proprietary account or for a customer will be required to transfer the appropriate currency amount into the same accounts they already use to effect the daily pay and collect process for currency futures, and ICUS will effect payments of the currencies through these same accounts via debits to the accounts making delivery and credits to the accounts taking delivery of each currency. ICUS will debit the respective Clearing Member accounts on the business day between the Last Trading Day and the Delivery Day, and will credit the respective Clearing Member accounts on the Delivery Day - so there is no change to the value dates for delivery payments from and to the Clearing Members. All delivery debits and credits will be made via the Clearing Member’s House Margin Accounts. The amendments do not impact the determination of Last Trading Days and Delivery Days for the Non- CLS Delivery Contracts. The Last Trading Day for the June 2020 expiries is Monday, June 15, 2020 and the Delivery Day is Wednesday, June 17, 2020. Market participants who intend to make or take delivery of any of these contracts in June should reach out to their Clearing Members prior to the Last Trading Day, to discuss any changes to the Clearing Member’s procedures for supporting delivery of these contracts.

The Scandinavian Argument for Multi-Level Economic and Monetary Union (EMU)
Running head: THE SCANDINAVIAN ARGUMENT FOR MULTI-LEVEL EMU Looking North: The Scandinavian Argument for Multi-Level Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) Malcolm Thomson University of Victoria Paper Submitted for the “Claremont-UC Undergraduate Research Conference on the European Union” Scripps College, Claremont, California April 5-6, 2018 THE SCANDINAVIAN ARGUMENT FOR MULTI-LEVEL EMU 1 The European Union (EU) is undergoing a significant period in its existence marked by various crises at both member state and supranational levels. While previous literature has stated, “it is difficult to remember a time when the EU or its predecessors were not facing a crisis of one sort or another” (Hodson & Puetter, 2016, p. 365), it can be argued that the various crises that the European Union has faced over the past fifteen years have shifted the collectively-held conception of an integrated and cooperative European Union into a splintered and divided institution. The global financial crisis, the subsequent sovereign debt crisis, and the migrant crisis are causing member states to re-evaluate their position within the EU (Verdun, 2016). This re- evaluation is taking form in multiple iterations and at various levels of intensities, and is forcing the EU to look at ways in which it can adapt and evolve in order better accommodate the quickly changing needs of the elements that compose it. One of the most visible occurrences of this evolution in European integration is seen within the EU’s Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). EMU played a large role in the sovereign debt crisis, as its “incomplete” structure not only helped to create the crisis, but also prevented quicker action from being taken in order to help those most affected (Verdun, 2016, p.

Immediately after Slovakia reported its first case of COVID-19, it saw increasing demand for euro banknotes, mainly for the €200 and €100 denominations. As a result, the cumulative net issuance (CNI)12 of euro in Slovakia increased by €0.8 billion during March. In sub- sequent months, the CNI maintained a steady trend. Once the cash started to be returned from circulation to Národná banka Slovenska, cash circula- tion stabilised. Despite a year-on-year reduction in the volume of the cash cycle (the volume of cash issued and returned from circulation), the value of the CNI of euro in Slovakia in 2020 represented a year-on-year increase of 13.2% (€1.96 billion).

Czech Economic Outlook on Thin Ice
ECONOMIC & STRATEGY RESEARCH 04 February 2019 Quarterly report Extract from a report Czech Economic Outlook On thin ice © iStock Czech economy set to continue on a sustainable growth path While strong investment drove growth in 2018, we expect much more balanced growth supported by domestic and external demand this year. We expect tension on the labour market to persist, creating more inflationary pressure, keeping inflation above the CNB’s 2% target. CNB to gear down rate hikes We believe the CNB will take a breather from hiking at the beginning of the year, owing to global uncertainty, but we expect two hikes over the year. Koruna set to appreciate gradually Ongoing excess CZK liquidity likely will impede the koruna’s appreciation, especially given external economic weakness and other looming risks. We expect the CZK to reach EUR/CZK25.20 towards end-2019. Yield curve to stay inverted in near future We see only limited potential for an increase in CZK IRS, with the short end supported by CNB hikes in 2019. In 2020, rates are expected to come under pressure again on the back of a global slowdown.

Case Study of Czech and Slovak Koruna
International Journal of Economic Sciences Vol. VI, No. 2 / 2017 DOI: 10.20472/ES.2017.6.2.002 BRIEF HISTORY OF CURRENCY SEPARATION – CASE STUDY OF CZECH AND SLOVAK KORUNA KLARA CERMAKOVA Abstract: This paper aims at describing the process of currency separation of Czech and Slovak koruna and its economic and political background, highlights some of its unique features which ensured smooth currency separation, avoided speculation and enabled preservation of the policy of a stable exchange rate and increased confidence in the new monetary systems. This currency separation was higly appreciated and its scenario and legislative background were reccommended by the IMF for use in other countries. The paper aims also to draw conclusions on performance of selected macroeconomic variables of the two successor countries with impact on monetary policy and exchange rates of successor currencies.

Introduction Last decade of 20th century was an important period either from political either from economic aspects. Developed market economies mainly in Western Europe and Northern America were on the margin of recession, and in most centrally planned economies the political regimes were collapsing, starting a period of crucial political changes, which resulted, in some cases, into separation of multinational federations and birth of new states.

Czech Republic
CZECH REPUBLIC Capital: Prague Language: Czech Population: 10.5 million Time Zone: EST plus 6 hours Currency: Czech Koruna (CZK) Electricity: 220V. 50Hz Fun Facts • Czech people are the world's greatest consumers of beer pro capita • The Czech Republic became a member of N.A.T.O. in 1999 and of the European Union in 2004 • The Czech Republic is the second-richest country (after Slovenia) of the former Communist Bloc The Czech Republic boasts a magnificent heritage of castles, medieval towns, palaces, churches, and above all, its romantic capital, "Golden" Prague. It is a relatively small country in Central Europe (30,000 sq. miles) composed of Moravia with its endless fields and vineyards, Bohemia, which is highly industrialized but also famous for its beers, and Moravian Silesia with its iron industry and coal mines. All over the Czech Republic you can visit many elegant spa cities. For over 1,500 years, the history of the Slavic Czechs (the name meaning "member of the clan") was influenced by contacts with their western, German neighbors. According to popular belief from ancient times, the Slavic Premysl royal family was replaced by the Luxemburg family in the first half of the 14th century after assassination of the king Wenceslas III. Charles IV, the Holy Roman Emperor, brought prosperity to the land. Jan Hus, the early church reformer who was burned at the stake for heresy, founded the first Reformed church here almost 100 years before the Lutherans. The Hapsburgs started to rule the state from the first half of the 16th century; they managed to quell the Protestant spirit of the nation temporarily but were powerless against the surge of national feelings in the 19th century, which resulted in the foundation of Czechoslovakia following WWI—a foundation which lasted for 74 years (until the end of 1992).

Macroeconomic Factors and the Balanced Value of the Czech Koruna/Euro Exchange Rate
UDC: 339.743;330.101.541;519.866 JEL Classification: F31, F41, G12, G15 Keywords: exchange rate; pricing kernel; order flow; latent risk; state space Macroeconomic Factors and the Balanced Value of the Czech Koruna/Euro Exchange Rate Jan BRÒHA* – Alexis DERVIZ** 1. Introduction The present paper investigates the linkages between the key macroeco- nomic uncertainties present in the Czech and euro-area economies, on the one side, and key asset prices, including the Czech koruna/euro ex- change rate, on the other. For this purpose, we construct a stochastic opti- mizing model of a small open economy. We then perform a risk-factor de- composition of the exchange rate in the said model by joining the resources of portfolio-optimization theory, factor models of asset prices and micro fi- nance. We allow for the existence of liquidity management and other agent- -specific determinants of the nominal exchange rate in a financially inte- grated open economy along with the purely macroeconomic fundamentals, and measure the relative importance of both. A similar model was formu- lated in (Derviz, 2004a). Traditional financial economics derives restrictions on the exchange-rate dynamics in an open economy from an optimizing investor’s actions (even if it does not normally pin the exchange-rate value down unambiguously). On the other hand, positivist empirical finance concentrates on decompos- ing the observed exchange rate into statistically well-defined components without offering much in the way of explaining their economic sources. To provide for an explanation in an environment with asset market frictions, we need a synthesis of both.

Exchange Rate in Transition
Exchange Rate in Transition Evžen Kocenda CERGE, Charles University CERGE, Charles University Published by: CERGE Charles University Politických veznu 7 111 21 Praha 1 © Evžen Kocenda, 1998 Reviewed by: Jan Hanousek ISBN 80-86286-08-8 To Monika Preface In this book several econometric techniques are used to perform quantitative research of the exchange rate in transition. This is an empirical work based on related economic theory. While the stress is put on the exchange rate of the Czech koruna, the subject is analyzed from a broader perspective of other transition countries as well. I have used parts of the original text in my class Econometrics IV (Applied Time Series) that I teach at CERGE of Charles University. I am grateful to many people for their help.
