  1. Lessons to be learnt from International Comparisons Jeremy Colman

  2. Outline • Objectives of privatisation • Privatisation methods and schemes • Institutional and regulatory framework • Economic dilemmas • Conclusions

  3. Objectives • To secure improved economic efficiency • Rapid change of economic regime • To raise money and human resources for firms • To increase state income • Social acceptance

  4. Economic efficiency versus Social acceptability • Economic efficiency promotes welfare but… • Economic efficiency requires “redeployment of factors of production” = factory closures, dismissals, unemployment

  5. Economic efficiency versus State budgets 1 • Selling monopolies = high proceeds but • Selling monopolies = economic inefficiency

  6. Economic efficiency versus State budgets 2 • Quick sales = low proceeds + rapid gains in economic efficiency • Slow sales = (maybe) higher proceeds • NB probably not worthwhile spending state revenues on restructuring

  7. Privatisation Methods • “Traditional” • Direct sale • Trade sale by invitation • Public auction • Tender • Initial public offer

  8. Privatisation methods • “Non-traditional” • Sale to “insiders” • MBO/MEBO • Coupon/voucher

  9. Summary evaluation

  10. Institutional environment • Legal framework • Soft budgets • Soft banking

  11. Conclusions • No one privatisation method better than others on all counts • Insider methods not good for economic efficiency • Coupon systems not clearly advantageous • Banking reform and elimination of subsidies needed to come sooner • Outsider sales generate most efficiency but also greatest social dissatisfaction.
