Large bank privatization and economic transformation in the czech republic in the nineties

Donald G. Simonson

This paper examines the two crucial factors in Czech banking policy that explain why Czech banks were not an effective support for economic restructuring in the nineties. These factors are: the subsistence of unrestructured, non-viable firms that undermined development of banks' debt monitoring role and stunted the development of bankruptcy and commercial laws needed to support credit creation and, delays in privatizing the large bank hegemony that rendered the banks themselves unrestructured, undercapitalized and poorly competitive with foreign institutions.

Keywords: privatization, restructuring industry, bankruptcy, Czech banking policy
