| Tiivistelmä: | Current empirical literature concerning the activities of foreign banks exhibits some degree of consensus around the thesis that foreign banks are less efficient than domestic banks in the case of industrial countries, but that they are more efficient than domestic institutions in emerging economies. The reasons for such phenomena include the exposure to tougher competition in industrial countries, adoption of better management methods, the tendency to develop new products and technologies, and the influence of better-equipped regulators. The paper examines these claims in light of recent Brazilian experience. It is shown that, at least in the case of Brazil the expansion of foreign bank activities in the domestic markets has not resulted in any major improvement. |
