  1. privatisation

    Privatisation is the process by which services or businesses that were previously owned and managed by the government or public sector are sold off or transferred to private ownership. This process typically involves the sale of public assets to private investors, with the aim of improving efficiency, performance, and profitability. The idea behind privatisation is that private companies might be able to provide and manage services more efficiently than the government due to competition and profit motivation.
