Privatization (sometimes privatisation, denationalization, or disinvestment ) is the process of transferring property from public ownership to private ownership and/or transferring the management of a service or activity from the government to the private sector. Privatisation can be partial or complete. It may also carry conditions as to the change in ownership.
The reverse process is nationalization or municipalization.
The term was coined in 1948 and is thought to have been popularized by The Economist during the 1980s.
