Abstract: Abstract After GEMSU, the banking system in the East was quickly transformed or ‘normalised’ to resemble closely the West German banking system in terms of its structure and infrastructural development. The present chapter begins with an empirical examination of the broader financial flows to the East after GEMSU, underlining the banks’ role handling these as well as the state’s role in absorbing the requisite risks. In the second section, it analyses activities in the banking sector as a whole, distinguishing between East German (Savings Banks and Credit Cooperatives) and West German (Commercial) banks.1 The third section examines the experiences of two West German Commercial Banks which employed different strategies. The fourth section explores the availability and allocation of financing to the various non-financial sectors of the economy from the borrowers’ perspective.
