Abstract

Transition economies have inherited of a lot of outdated or blackwarded facilities in many industries from the socialist period. Restructuring such enterprises or industries need massive inputs of investment and technology. Privatisation and foreign direct investment provide answers to this problem, but at the price of important lost of control over the concerned bodies. Here we consider the situation of Hungarian telecoms which have been successfully privatised to Deutsch Telecom and try to assess the results of the operation and the effects on the potential growth of the industry and more generally on the Hungarian economy.Les économies en transition ont hérité de la période socialiste un certain nombre d'entreprises et de secteurs aux installations largement obsolètes. Leur mise à niveau constitue un préalable à l'amélioration qualitative des productions, des processus de production, et par conséquent à une élévation progressive des salaires réels et des niveaux de vie. Cette opération nécessite des injections massives de capitaux et de technologie. La privatisation des entreprises concernées, en particulier au bénéfice d'investisseurs étrangers, peut apporter une solution, mais au prix d'une perte importante de contrôle.Ici, nous examinons la situation des télécoms en Hongrie, qui ont été privatisées au profit de l'entreprise elle-même, du point de vue de l'industrie des télécommunications, et plus généraleme- nt in s'interroge sur les effets qu'elle peut avoir sur l'ensemble de l'industrie hongroise.
