Abstract
Monetary and fiscal policy should be paired with the economic objectives on which they have the most influence. The authors have transformed this trad itional Mundell's principle of effective market classification into the Con ditions of the Czech economy - a small open economy with controlled floatin g exchange rate system and high inflow of foreign direct investment. An emp irical verification confirmed the requirement of the modification of this p rinciple in the CR. An application of the modified model in the CR resulted in the following recommendation for the Czech economic policy mix: monetar y policy should control the external balance and fiscal policy the internal balance.
