Abstract
This paper reviews the widely held notion that privatization, particularly of enterprises that are incurring losses, improves budgetary prospects. It is argued that unless significant efficiency gains are realized and captured by the budget, privatization may in fact worsen budgetary prospects over the medium term. To ensure durable improvements in the budgetary position, policymakers should ensure that privatization is accompanied by deregulation and increased reliance on market forces.
