The evidence reviewed suggests that foreign-owned banks tend to be more efficient than domestic banks in developing countries, promote competition in host banking sectors, and help stabilize credit when host countries face idiosyncratic shocks. But there are trade-offs, since foreign-owned banks can also transmit external shocks and might not always contribute to expanding access to credit. The record on the impact of government bank ownership suggests few benefits, especially for developing countries. 2018-01-16T17:40:26Z 2018-01-16T17:40:26Z 2018-01 Working Paper http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/810621515444012541/Bank-ownership-trends-and-implications http://hdl.handle.net/10986/29160 English Policy Research Working Paper;No. 8297 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper Publications & Research
