Banking reform in a transition economy: the case of Poland

Thomas H. Mondschean and Timothy Opiela ()

Economic Perspectives, 1997, vol. 21, issue Mar, 16-32

Abstract: Polish banks have been weakened by large loan losses and low capital. Recapitalization and better economic conditions have strengthened the industry, but problems remain, especially among some large state-owned banks. Continued improvement of the banking system will require additional domestic or foreign capital to strengthen reserves and to modernize operations.
