Abstract
The role of 'opaque' networks are analysed within the context of an infant economy with low levels of corporate governance. A period of economic expansion is studied, documenting the effects of credit liberalisation. This article outlines the significance of networks, emerging business cliques, particularly around financial institutions and the interlocking directorates these affiliations allow. Their effects upon financial reporting, business credibility and its effects upon the network life cycle are considered. Market manipulation, the importance of monitoring in instances of unsophisticated governance structures and the agents used (but particularly local/national press) are all analysed.
