New Book Explores Privatization in Pakistan

A new book titled “The Face of Privatization in Pakistan,” published by Palgrave Macmillan, provides a detailed analysis of this topic. This book is co-authored by Dr. Ghulam Samad, Chief of the Research Division at the CAREC Institute, and Dr. Naseem Faraz from the Pakistan Institute of Development Economics.
The book primarily explores how privatization impacts Pakistan, provides rich case studies on privatization in Pakistan, and provides insights into State Owned Enterprises (SOEs) reform. The empirical part is complemented by a detailed exploratory analysis of the privatization data to analyze profitability, efficiency, and competency, which are the core perceived objectives of the privatization. The book provides valuable insights into the real-world outcomes of privatization efforts. The book advocates corporate governance reforms, capacity building in government, transparency, robust legal frameworks, and public-private partnerships (PPPs) to ensure the success of privatization efforts.
The book will be of interest to academicians, researchers and policy makers of Asian economics, development economics and the Eurasian region.
