Technology has transformed the privatisation landscape. The process is affected, inter alia by the digitalisation of the economy, which has removed the rationale for state ownership in a number of sectors by laying them open to market competition. This has also put a fresh emphasis on a long-standing problem: the transfer of assets from public ownership to private ownership enables incentives for self-profit among political decision makers, SOE corporate insiders and the ultimate buyers of assets. Even more so, as privatisation becomes steadily more dependent on outside advisors, the risk of conflicts of interest also comes to the forefront.

This session will identify the main areas of risk for corruption in the privatisation process and discuss good practices in mitigating them.
