Abstract: Abstract This study examines the impact of privatization on SOEs, explained that while privatization has somewhat alleviated the fiscal burden on national resources, it has not significantly enhanced overall performance or efficiency. Through sectoral analysis, it shows that operational efficiency has improved due to better asset utilization, yet results vary across sectors. For example, while compare power, cement, and finance, the cement industry showing notable performance improvements both pre- and post-privatization. The paper advocates for corporate governance reforms, enhanced transparency, and capacity building in government as initial steps toward effective SOE reform. It also highlights the importance of robust legal frameworks and Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) to ensure the success of privatization efforts, and note them as the essential strategies for achieving a balance between public needs and private sector efficiency.
