Abstract
The privatisation of banks in many European countries is an important element in the transformation underway in banking systems and the reshaping of the competitive strategies of banks. In many European states, part of the banking system was previously controlled by public economic agents of various types: the state, public holdings, and public bodies and systems of the peripheral administration. In recent times, this has been transferred to new private agents on domestic and international financial markets with operations in some cases of considerable scale.
