About the product

Many countries are facing the challenge of an overburdened public sector providing goods and services to the public at a high cost to the public purse. The collapse of planned economies and their struggle to enter into a free market system has resulted in a difficult transitional stage. A response, that has been widely adopted is privatization. This publication discusses the privatization of public sector activities focusing on four main areas: telecommunications, energy, health and community services.
