摘要

銀行民營化被普遍認爲能夠提升公營銀行的經營績效，並進而促進國家經濟的發展，因此，在過去二十年間，銀行民營化已成爲台灣相當重要的金融改革：自政府在1984年宣布金融自由化爲台灣未來經濟發展的指導原則後，銀行民營化也在1989年正式採行。然而，實際上直至1998年公營銀行才被民營化。本文探討台灣公營銀行民營化政策的制定與執行情形，檢視民營化爲何被採行，以及銀行民營化執行上所遭遇的困難；同時，亦探究何以銀行民營化在亞洲金融危機時期快速的執行。

There is a widespread perception that bank privatization promotes operating performance of public banks, and that subsequently this stimulates economic growth. Consequently, in the last two decades bank privatization has become a crucial component of financial reform. Followed the government announced financial liberalization as guidelines for Taiwan's future economic development in 1984, bank privatization was adopted in 1989. However, the banking sector was not privatized until 1998. This article studies the promotion and implementation of bank privatization policy in Taiwan and its evolution over the last two decades. This attempts to explore why privatization agenda is adopted and why privatization is proved so difficult to implement. Also, the reasons for the sudden speeding up of bank privatization in the wake of the Asia crisis are explored.
