Question

Which of the following is not a way of privatisation?

• A. Selling ownership
• B. Merging
• C. Build, operate, and transfer
• D. Public-private partnership

Answer 1

The correct option is B Merging

Privatisation is the process where ownership and management of government-run companies are transferred to the private sector. Besides selling ownership, it is done through two other ways like build, operate, and transfer (BOT) and public-private partnership (PPP). In case of BOT, private companies build and then transfer the assets to the government. In case of PPP, both the government and private players own and manage the assets.
