Abstract: The manner in which Croatia has allowed privileges to non-residents in the process of privatisation of companies and commercial banks has resulted in disowning of vital national institutions on one hand and involved foreign accounting agencies in valuation of companies, and banks to ascertain the ownership on the other. The link between the non-financial companies and the banks is visible from their balance sheets. This very link has caused serious social conflicts and made difficult for the government to finance major investment projects. Domestic and foreign debt has increased resulting in serious monetary consequences for the country.
