A process for producing polycarbonates which comprises transesterifying by reacting (A) at least one compound selected from the group consisting of aromatic dihydroxy compounds, aliphatic dihydroxy compounds, bisesters of aromatic dihydroxy compounds, bisesters of aliphatic dihydroxy compounds, carbonates of aromatic dihydroxy compounds and carbonates of aliphatic dihydroxy compounds, with (B) at least one compound selected from the group of diaryl carbonates, dialkyl carbonates, and alkylaryl carbonates, at a transesterification temperature of 100 DEG C. to 330 DEG C. in the presence of an inert solvent in an amount of 1 to 60% by weight based on the total of the theoretical amount of polycarbonate produced from the said compounds (A) and (B) and the amount of the inert solvent. According to the present invention, a polycarbonate which is excellent in color tone (transparency), heat resistance, and water resistance can be efficiently and simply produced at a low cost.
