About this book

This book on privatization in Pakistan stands out due to its comprehensive and multifaceted approach towards examining the process, impact, and implications of privatizing state-owned enterprises (SOEs). The book provides an in-depth discussion on privatization in Pakistan which revolves around the historical context, contemporary challenges, and opportunities. It mainly covers the discussion on the rationale behind privatization, evolution of privatization policies, case studies of major privatizations, legal frameworks, and the role of public-private partnerships (PPPs). Along with exploratory analysis, this book also includes the first detailed empirical analysis and case studies to provide evidence-based insights into the performance and efficiency of privatized SOEs. Through exploratory and empirical analysis, and examination of key privatization cases, readers gain valuable insights into the real-world outcomes of privatization efforts in Pakistan. This book will be of interest to scholars of Asian economics, development economics and the future of the Eurasian region.
