3.6.1 Privatisation (Edexcel A-Level Economics Teaching PowerPoint)

This Edexcel teaching powerpoint covers aspects of Privatisation

Privatisation in the UK refers to the process of transferring ownership and control of state-owned enterprises or public services to private entities. This can involve selling shares of a publicly owned company to private investors or selling the entire entity. The goal is often to introduce competition, improve efficiency, and reduce the government's role in certain industries. It has been a significant aspect of economic policies in the UK, especially during the 1980s under Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's government.
