Summary: This book should be of interest to a wide range of readers: students, businessmen, bankers, specialists in country and area studies as well as in finance. As a reference book, the up-to-date coverage of the complete range of financial institutions in ten countries fills a gap in the literature on the area. There is also an extensive bibliography which should serve readers well both for more intensive study and for knowledge of national reference sources which would permit keeping up-to-date on financial statistics and institutional changes. The author's main objective is descriptive, not analytical, and he classifies financial institutions in four groups: deposit-creating banks and other financial institutions, subdivided into government and private ownership. However, an attempt is made to evaluate, for each country and the region in general, the "effectiveness" of financial structure and policies in promoting growth. technologies." The author emphasizes that for financial institutions to successfully develop as a handmaiden for growth it is imperative that government policies affecting the training and employability of banking personnel, inflation, nationalization, and interest rate structure not hamstring their transition.
