The business models of CUs in the Czech Republic are fundamentally different from traditional CUs that are typically non-for-profit cooperatives operated for the benefit of a defined set of members. The paper highlights that there is a need to restructure the CU sector, aimed at striking a delicate balance between minimizing financial and supervisory risks arising from the sector while recognizing the social role of prudently managed CUs UR - http://elibrary.imf.org/view/IMF002/12951-9781475506228/12951-9781475506228/12951-9781475506228.xml UR - http://www.imfbookstore.org/IMFORG/9781475506228 ER -
