Abstract
The current crisis has disclosed constraints to traditional models that neglected the importance of banks and other financial intermediaries in transmission of business situation impulses the crisis has confirmed the key role of financial institutions in proliferating and deepening business situation fluctuations not only in individual countries, which was observed previously, but also in international scale. It is balance sheets of banks that are of major significance for the transmission of business situation impulses. There are at least three reasons for the above. Firstly, the balance sheets of banks are influenced by the credit multiplier. Secondly, the balance sheet has an impact on the use of financial leverage by banks. Thirdly, the state of the balance sheet influences the functioning of interbank market. Moreover, banks are also involved dually in a classic process of infection. One of the ways refers to flock-like behavior, and the other is connected with the institution of the common creditor. All these issues as well as the importance of banks operating across-the-borders for business situation transmission have been discussed in this paper. (original abstract)
