Beskrivelse
Financial reforms in the former command economies of Central and Eastern Europe have given birth to institutions that further the links between these economies and the world economy. This book studies in a comparative framework financial developments in Central and Eastern Europe and highlights aspects that are unique to these developments.The book begins with country profiles of Albania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Macedonia, Poland, Romania, Slovak Republic, Slovenia and FR Yugoslavia. The transition process in eleven countries is tracked by means of a review of the role of monetary policy in macroeconomic stabilization, the characteristics of the banking systems, the transfer of corporate ownership through privatization schemes, the dynamics of exchange-related trading, and the role of international funding. The book turns then to an in-depth analysis of specific issues including central bank independence, the design of promotional banks, privatization processes, the efficiency of emerging capital markets, financial risk, and foreign debt settlement.
The book will appeal especially to policymakers interested in the evolution and operation of financial institutions in transitional economies, and to academics and researchers who are keen to learn more about the economics of transition, financial and monetary economics, and comparative economic systems.
