Belgian privatisation gathers momentum

Article Abstract:

The Belgian government's privatisation programme, established in 1992, aimed to raise a total of 50 billion Belgian francs in the period 1994-1996. A Commission was created to identify suitable targets, set prices for assets and to negotiate deals. So far, the Commission has been very successful, and a number of large privatisations have been undertaken. Latest plans include the sale of the government's 25.1% shareholding in Credit Agricole to Belgian bank BACOB.
