| Summary: | After two decades of privatization, has
government ownership and control of enterprises declined
substantially? A rigorous assessment is difficult in the
absence of systematic data on state enterprises. But ongoing
research suggests that while privatization has helped reduce
the state's role in some developing countries and
regions, in most others the stock of state enterprises
remains relatively large. State enterprises continue to play
a major role in many developing regions and, in some
sectors, across more or less all of them. |
