"Should state-owned financial institutions be privatized or reformed?
". What does the future hold for state-owned financial
institutions? Some urge privatization; others suggest that the wiser,
more realistic course is improving their management and
supervision.Neither side won the day at the 6th Annual Financial

but both sides used the event—jointly sponsored by the IMF, the
World Bank, and the Brookings Institution—to wrestle with the
substantial challenges associated with state-owned financial
institutions, review recent research and country experiences, and
weigh future options.
