Privatizations

Few business divestments are straightforward; the overlays of industry reform and political considerations make most privatizations even more complex.

• lead managing the process of privatization or market testing.

KPMG's Corporate Finance practice's involvement with privatization programs throughout the world provides knowledgeable, independent advice whether acting for ministers, government departments, regulatory authorities, enterprise management or potential acquirers.
