What the paper says

This study examines the post-privatisation performance of 87 banks in OECD and MENA countries, while identifying the various factors that may influence the privatisation-performance relationship. By using the seemingly unrelated regressions (SUR) model, the results show that in the post-privatisation period, performance slightly decreases in the MENA region. However, over time, privatisation yields significant improvements in the performance of privatised banks in OECD countries. The results also show that the economic and organisational circumstances and the political and institutional environment in which privatised banks operate affect the privatisation-performance relationship. Our results support, therefore, that the factor of private-public ownership must be differentiated from the other factors that also influence the effect of privatisation on the performance of privatised banks.
