Data on ownership structure, privatization, and so forth, differ vastly from source to source, because the Central Statistical Office, the Central Office of Planning, and the Ministry of Privatization use various criteria of classification and time periods.

5. Cases of unofficial pressure by local governments on banks to include "socially important" although economically unviable firms in the financial restructuring schemes are reported to be rare. On the other hand, we cannot totally dismiss the issue of banks' "social awareness," which may lead to the same result. Compare Belka, "Financial Restructuring."
