Rescue on hold
Article Abstract:
Credit Lyonnais is seeking to renegotiate a financial arrangement with the French government prior to releasing its interim results in Sep 1996. The bank's chairman, Jean Peyrelevade, could be removed from his post due to his opposition to the Treasury. Credit Lyonnais has made a loan to a recovery vehicle that has taken on its bad debts, and the low rates of this loan have affected the bank's finances. Other French banks argue that state aid to banks should be limited since it represents unfair competition.

Modest beginnings but growing all the time
Article Abstract:
The Slovenian banking industry has been restructured through the Bank Rehabilitation agency, This has meant tackling problems of bad debts, recapitalization and placing an emphasis on customer service. Privatization of Slovenia's banks will depend on additional factors outside the banking industry such as lower foreign currency reserves, increased flexibility for rehabilitation bonds, and a decision on Slovenia's share of foreign debts of former Yugoslavia.
