La privatisation tient-elle ses promesses? Le cas des pays en développement

La littérature sur la privatisation a récemment proliféré à la suite de l’essor considérable qu’a connu ce phénomène de par le monde. Cependant, la plupart des études ont porté sur l’expérience des pays industrialisés. Tout en passant brièvement en revue ces études, cet article met l’accent sur celles qui se sont intéressées aux pays en développement. Plus précisément, l’article décrit le phénomène de privatisation, les objectifs poursuivis par les gouvernements qui ont privatisé, les caractéristiques des programmes de privatisation et résume l’évidence empirique sur la performance financière et d’opération des entreprises nouvellement privatisées.

ABSTRACT

Does Privatization Meet the Expectations?

Evidence From Developing Countries

Privatization has turned into a major phenomenon for the developed world as well as the developing world. However, few studies have examined the privatization phenomenon in developing countries. This paper surveys the literature on privatization with a particular emphasis on the developing world experience. It also describes the way privatization is implemented, the objectives followed by governments launching privatization programs as well as the observed patterns of these programs. Finally, the paper summarizes the empirical evidence on the financial and operating performance of newly privatized firms.
