Reviews

'... the book by Bonin, Mizsei, Szekely and Wachtel gives a very detailed and informed account of four policy areas highly relevant to banking in transition economies ... The rather selective nature of the book makes it a valuable source of information and input for the work of both policymakers in the region and academic researchers.' -- Claudia M. Buch, Journal of Comparative Economics '... this book makes a valuable contribution to both the privatization and banking regulation literature.' -- J. Prager, Choice 'This book represents a blueprint on banking in transition. To date it is one of the most comprehensive attempts to analyse in a systematic way the issues involved in setting up a commercially based, privately owned banking sector in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. Its reading is a must for academics, bankers and policy makers dealing with banking in countries in transition.' -- Ricardo Lago, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development
