This report argues that privatization and equity market development are inextricably linked and mutually reinforcing. It illustrates the effects of privatization on the emerging equity markets for: developing countries which are experimenting with privatization; transition economies which are beginning case-by-case privatization and are seeking maximum revenue from privatization; and countries seeking to privatize large, strategic enterprizes. The report examines investment opportunites that deepen existing stock markets, discusses the relationship between privatization and telecommunications, and illustrates new and broader types of investor participation.
