I am afraid this is a very fair estimate for all transition countries. Privatization, contracts between formerly state-owned companies and the state after privatization, subcontracting government or state-owned companies, monopolizing some elements of foreign trade are key factors to this as well as a massive rebuilding of the basic transport infrastructure according to the needs of a more open economy. As a (former) regulator of a Hungarian former state monopoly I cannot prove but understand that this may be a very good guess. Dániel Antal
