| description |
Beginning in the late 1980s many
developing countries turned to the private sector to provide
basic infrastructure and utility services, such as highways,
railroads, water, wastewater, electricity, gas, and
telecommunications. Recent studies suggest that private
involvement often benefited customers and reduced government
fiscal problems without harming employees or enriching
private providers excessively. There were enough
high-profile failures, however, to discredit this reform in
many quarters. Private involvement is likely to be more
successful if it generates real efficiency gains rather than
simply transferring costs among parties, if the systems of
regulating the private companies are politically sensitive
as well as technically competent, if the costs and
constraints of private capital are not excessive, and if we
are willing to adopt more modest and gradual schemes in
difficult circumstances. |
