What is Privatization?
Privatization is the transfer of government ownership rights of a public enterprise to private investors. This transfer may be wholly or partially.
The shares are transferred either through any of these strategies: Sales of Shares, Control or Management of State-owned Assets, Encouragement of Private Sector Involvement in Public Activities, Shifting of Decision Making or Enterprises Operation in Accordance with Market Conditions, etc.
