This report was initiated largely in response to interest by member governments and staff of the World Bank for information on the practical aspects of privatization of state-owned enterprises. It reviews what is known about the recent experience of selected developing countries and developed countries. It describes and illustrates methods that have been tried and options that are available to goverrlnents. The report deals strictly with techniques (that is, how to privatize and not whether to privatize). The issues analyzed are the most recurrent in the process of implementing privatization.
The report, which consists of three volumes, is largely the result of a cooperative effort by various contributors within and outside the World Bank. Volume I, Methods and Implementation, relies extensively on Volume II, Selected Country Case Studies, and Volume III, Inventory of Country Experience and Reference Materials.

FOREWORD
The information provided in Volumes II and III has been collected in support of the analysis of techniques of privatization presented in Volume I.
Governments preparing for or implementing privatization draw extensively on the experience of other countries. As details on individ- ual countries' specific transactions or overall programs are not other- wise available in any comprehensive form, it was decided to publish the information and data contained herein.
The studies contained in Volume II are a collection of background papers analyzing the experience of some of the countries that have a signi- ficant record of experience with various relevant methods of privatization. The limited time and budget applied to these studies have not permitted a consideration of all economic, financial and other issues that arose with respect to privatization in the countries reviewed. Thus, they do not pro- vide an exhaustive analysis or assessment of the individual transactions reviewed. The purpose of the papers is to provide the salient features of the privatization experiences in the countries covered and some emerging lessons; the user may seek additional information on various experiences from relevant sources or authorities.
Ms. Helen Nankani, author of Volume II, is a consultant who has assisted the Bank in the past on state-owned enterprise restructuring operations. Sources are indicated in each individual study. In most instances, information was gathered and analyzed on a desk basis through a review of readily available data and documentation; some information was drawn from World Bank experience as part of the process of supervising state-owned enterprise adjustment efforts. In the cases of Italy (IRI), Malaysia, Spain and Sri Lanka, additional information was gathered through brief field visits, affording the consultant an opportunity to discuss findings with the relevant authorities and sources. The work was carried out with the support of the Bank's former Public Sector Management and Industrial Restructuring Divisions as well as the Bank's Research Committee.
Part I of Volume III contains an inventory of planned, ongoing and completed privatization transactions in 83 countries. It is being published in view of the demand for data on privatization. However, the author, Ms. Rebecca Candoy-Sekse, wishes to point out that the information provided is uneven; while information is readily available and verifiable for some countries, for many others it is only sporadic and incomplete. Although extensive verifications were carried out, the limited time and budget applied to this research severely constrained our ability to go beyond simple desk surveys or to verify data with the relevant authorities in the respective governments, except in certain limited cases such as France, the U.K., the U.S. and the countries included in Volume II; the assistance of the relevant authorities in those instances is gratefully acknowledged. - viii -
Ms. Candoy-Sekse was, at the time of the initiation of this report, on the staff of the Bank's Industrial Restructuring Division headed by Mr. Anil Sood, who contributed to, and helped define the methodology of, this report; she is now an Industry and Energy Operations Officer in the World Bank's Asia Department. Extensive contributions were made by Ms. Anne Ruiz Palmer, Research Assistant in the Legal Department of the Bank and Ms. Chantal Toussaint-Willot (consultant). Ms. Ruiz Palmer provided sub- stantial editorial assistance as well as research on several countries. The help of many others should further be acknowledged, including staff in the offices of Executive Directors of the World Bank and in country departments of the Bank. The extensive assistance of Ms. Anjali Villagran in producing the final manuscript is also acknowledged.
Part II of Volume III is a systematic listing of some of the reference materials used in the preparation of the report. It was edited by Ms. Anne Ruiz Palmer. Invaluable assistance was provided by Ms. Linda Thompson and Ms. Vivian Richardson in identifying and locating relevant source material. The listing of particular materials does not imply accep- tance of analysis or recommendations made therein. It does indicate that useful elements with respect to various techniques were found in them.
The research and analysis conducted by the authors, Ms. Nankani and Ms. Candoy-Sekse, has been essential in completing Volume I of this report. Not only have their knowledge of state-owned enterprises and famil- iarity with business in different economic environments greatly facilitated the collection and review of country data, but they have made significant contributions to the analysis of the salient features of many specific transactions in the main report. Their contributions and that of Anne Ruiz Palmer are gratefully acknowledged.

PART I
INVENTORY OF PRIVATIZATION
Introduction
Part I of this Volume contains, for a large sample of countries, a list of transactions for the privatization of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) being planned, under way or having been completed, with indications as to the method used (to the extent the information was found to be readily available). It is the result of a survey conducted in view of sampling privatization techniques only. A number of instances reported may not represent significant divestitures in terms of assets, employment, etc.
In brief, the different techniques applied in respect of privati- zation activity in different countries are listed under the following main categories:
Public Offering of Shares (full or partial)
Private Sale of Shares (full or partial)
Sale of Government/SOE Assets
Reorganization into Component Parts
New Private Investment in SOE
Management/Employee Buy-Out
Lease
Management Contract
In many cases, a combination of some of the above is being planned or has been applied. Likewise, in some instances, if one of the above tech- niques requires or has required restructuring or transformation of the SOE, that would also be indicated.
Eighty-three countries have been included in the inventory. They appear in alphabetical order.
The information used for this inventory was obtained from World Bank and other agencies' reports, Volume II of this report comprising the country case studies, as well as other publications and articles dealing with privatization. Some source documents have restricted distribution and where such is the case, information has generally been limited to that which is public knowledge or is otherwise available. Furthermore, extensive veri- fications of information were conducted; many reported transactions which could not be verified had to be omitted. -2-
Specific sources are only sporadically indicated in the text, since much of the information is an aggregate result of reviews by internal sources and scattered source material. With few exceptions, data have been updated only up to December 1987. Countries with no transactions underway or completed are generally not reported, even though transactions may be planned.
Despite uneveness in available data, this inventory was thought to constitute a useful tool, in particular for governments or their agencies seeking information on other countries' experiences. No representation, however, is made as to the accuracy of the information provided. It is reproduced for illustrative purposes only. In particular, listings of par- ticular enterprises as planned or underway cannot be taken as indicative of formal decisions to proceed by the relevant authorities. In some instances, for example, enterprises are simply being diagnosed in view of possible privatizations; executive or legislative action to authorize individual transactions may be necessary in many cases. In respect of many SOEs, a specified method of privatization is indicated for transactions which are planned or under way; while these may be intended methods, the actual methods applied will of course depend entirely on the outcome of the trans- actions. Furthermore, these tables are known not to comprise many recent developments in continuously changing government programs, and not all countries which have undertaken privatization are included. Some which are included have plans to privatize large numbers of SOEs which are not necessarily reported in detail as being planned. In some countries, for instance, all SOEs in certain groups--such as commercial, industrial or financial companies--are, in principle, to be privatized. Numbers of planned privatizations are therefore substantially higher than those reported herein. T PLIVAIZATIONTECHNI&UES T T COUNTRY ENTERPPISE ICTIVIY AEHOD/PROCEDURE SIZE INDICATOF COMMENTS

PLANNED: - The planned privatizations listed here are extracted from an 'Invitation to interested investors' published by the Governeentof Ghana. - The preaeble of the notice indicates, in part, that; 'Ghanapresently has no less than 181 State-ownedEnterprises (SOEs) which are either wholly-ownedState-owned, or in which 6overnment holds majority shares. In addition, there are 54 enterprises in which governmentis a minority shareholder. Almosteach one of these enterprises is in need of recapitalisation and rehabilitation in order to achieve improvedviability. To undertake the refunding of all these enterprises alone in the face of the manyother competing demands,the governmentwill have to resort to additional large scale external borrowing. This will obviously worsenthe national debt situation and introduce additional hardship on the people. To avert this situation the governmenthas decided to mobilise available non-governmentalresources for this purposeby inviting interested legal entities to join it in operating these enterprises. The invitation for equity participation consitutes the governeent's divestiture programme.Through the participation scheme,the Gcvernmenthopes to mobilise resources to strenghten the SOEs selected for the programmewhile we disburse budgetaryresources to support the manystrategic State-ownedenterprises, which government wishes to continue to own Wholly.'

- Jamaica's approachto privatization is to classify SOEsinto three w groups: Type A, which are clear candidates for divestiture in 3-5 years; Type B, which are strategic and will not be divested; and Type C for which there is no clear consensus, (1) - A special Secretariat has beenestablished within the NATIONAL INVESTMENTBANK of Jamaicato carry out valuation exercises and arrange for sale or lease of SOEs. 44 companieshave been listed and action has been taken on half of these, although these are not the mostsignificant enterprises. 6overnmentintends to transfer shares of SOEsto the NATIONALINVESTMENT BANK, which would hold shares in a subsidiary company. The Bankwould then offer shares to the public, thus effecting divestiture over a gradual period. - Furthermore, a tentative list of 47 enterprises to be divested has been compiled. If programis completed, 50Xof all public enterprises wouldhave been privatized by March, 1988.
