Any model can work if the people have a will.

Changing the economic fabric will by logic only make the rich richer thus rendering any debate invalid.

Under state patronage it has a chance if people are allowed to work.

But sure i can see the business sense but no management sense.

Wealth is not created by the government, but through mutual cooperation of individuals in the spontaneous order of the marketplace. Prosperity comes through individuals inventing, creating, saving, investing and, ultimately, exchanging goods and services voluntarily, for mutual gain – the spontaneous order of the free-market economy.

Good step.

Nothing wrong with privatizing loss-making public enterprises, but it must be done right. Auctioning them off or selling them for peanuts is not the answer. What needs to be done is to turn these companies into stock-issuing companies. The government would then sell a 51% stake, owning the other 49%. If the company does well the shares held by the government would appreciate and people of Pakistan would benefit without wasting valuable taxpayer monies.

In the current state, loss-making public enterprises are being subsidized by government to the tune of billions of dollars. Need to free up this resource for other things.

Thats the ideal situation. Turkish Airlines is a good example. After the government sold a 51% share in the company (in the mid 2000s) the company really took off. In the past decade it has emerged from a regional airline at best to a true global giant in the aviation industry.

Don't even have to look at Turkey. Look closer to home at K-Electric (previously KESC) and PTCL. People growing up in the 80s and 90s will attest to the fact how garbage these two institutes were, but ever since privatization these companies have really skyrocketed. There is a marked improvement in their performance and have managed to turn losses into profits. Obviously there is still margin for growth and improvement.

People who are opposed to the idea of privatization probably do so because they know they won't get jobs or freebies due to connections in these private companies now.
