Banques étrangères, mode de gouvernance et performance des banques privatisées

Abstract

Foreign banks, governance and performance of privatized banks We examine the post-privatization performance of 72 banks from 26 developing countries, 21 banks were privatized by foreign bank entry. Our results suggest that privatization doesn’t have an important effect on the performance of privatized banks. Our results suggest also that foreign bank and their cognitive contribution improve privatized bank performance measured by capital adequacy, assets quality and liquidity. The success of bank privatization depends on the specific skills and on the know-how brought by the foreign bank. JEL Classification : G21 ; G28 ; G32, L33
