REVIEW #7: Georgia’s Succesful Public Sector: Background and Lessons

Gia Jandieri and 4liberty.eu/November 7, 2017 /Leave a comment

Privatization, however, is not only a sale of government-owned properties: It is first and foremost a process of separating the government from intervention in many other areas, not just the economy. Georgia is a positive example, and an almost unique exception in this respect.

REVIEW #7: Fighting Fire with Fire: Employing Regulation against Government

Zilvinas Silenas and 4liberty.eu/November 7, 2017 /Leave a comment

The 2008 financial crisis, geopolitical tensions, and other macro factors have slowed down SOE privatization. In some CEE countries, the trend has even reversed. Estonia nationalized its railways in 2007 and Lithuania bought out private investors in its energy companies.

REVIEW #7: Municipal Energy Concepts: A Sustainable Model for Energy Transition or an Inefficient Distraction?

Steffen Hentrich and 4liberty.eu/November 7, 2017 /Leave a comment

Energy transformation, Germany’s plan to transform the energy industry into a greenhouse gas-neutral energy supply, is no longer solely a federal government project. Local authorities are beginning to push ahead with energy transition focused on decentralized municipal energy concepts.

REVIEW #7: Political Economy of State-Owned Enterprises in Poland

Aleksander Laszek and 4liberty.eu/November 7, 2017 /Leave a comment

Huge levels of state ownership in the Polish economy negatively affects its productivity and growth prospects. Although the employment share of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) in total employment of the Polish economy might seem limited (about 5%), their share among the largest, most important companies is much more significant.

REVIEW #7: Crony-Owned Enterprises in Hungary

Eszter Nova and 4liberty.eu/November 6, 2017 /Leave a comment

The Hungarian state’s share in the economy is high – but mostly in line with other countries. What stands out among OECD countries is the number of companies owned partially or wholly by the state that attests to some degree of micromanagement.

REVIEW #7: Repolonization and State Patronage: Current Challenges for Poland

Adam Szlapka and 4liberty.eu/November 6, 2017 /Leave a comment

In finance and development, Law and Justice has also set a controversial goal of boosting state control over the economy. One of the main obstacles for Poland’s development – based on the government’s Plan for Responsible Development – is a lack of balance between foreign and domestic capital.

REVIEW #7: Privatization in Bulgaria: State Ownership Is Dead, Long Live State Ownership!

Desislava Nikolova and 4liberty.eu/November 6, 2017November 6, 2017 /Leave a comment

Similar to other CEE economies, privatization in Bulgaria did not start with the 1989–1990 transition period. The same applied to other market reforms, too, as the dominant view among policymakers at that time was that Bulgaria should undertake gradual changes to minimize social suffering.

REVIEW #7: SOEs in Serbia: Substituting Market Failure with Government Failure

Mihailo Gajic and 4liberty.eu/November 6, 2017 /Leave a comment

In Serbia there is a plethora of possible government policy actions beyond the establishment and operation of SOEs. Having in mind the negative results stemming from the operation of SOEs, to alleviate this problem an approach other than appointing new management is necessary, as might be heard in public discourse.

REVIEW #7: The Slovak State as an Entrepreneur

Martin Vlachynsky and 4liberty.eu/November 6, 2017November 6, 2017 /Leave a comment

The first 16 years of the post-1989 period in Slovakia can be described as an era of privatization. A majority of the state-owned economy was transformed into a market-oriented model, where state-owned enterprises (SOEs) remain the only key player in several sectors.
