Abstract
The aim of this paper is to examine the impact of the global economic crisis on public finances in Central and Eastern Europe. The first part of the paper examines the major trends in public finances in these countries in the pre-crisis period in 2000-2007. The second part of the paper is dedicated to the development of public finances in the crisis and post-crisis period and we are trying to identify the most problematic and least problematic states on the level of the region.
