Description: The book examines in depth the progress of reform in the banking sector in Eastern Europe - which is a key element in its transition to the market. Particular emphasis is placed on the problem of bid debts owed by companies to banks, and on criteria and options for overcoming this serious problem.

The book also analyses the recent development of capital markets in Eastern Europe their role in attracting foreign capital flows, the limitations to the development of those markets and suggests how to overcome them. Based on analysis by senior policy-makers and academics from the region the book focuses on four countries: the former Czechoslovakia (now the Czech and Slovak Republics), Hungary and Poland.
