Recommendation

Nations own a vast array of assets collectively worth a whopping $75 trillion. Yet many governments fail to tap into that value through arrangements like joint ventures, privatizations or management contracts. Although the nature of politics and government makes it difficult to forge such deals, the challenges of monetizing public assets are not impossible to overcome, and the fiscal payoffs could be huge. This incisive article from Boston Consulting Group professionals offers food for thought to state officials and policy experts.

Take-Aways

  • The monetization of public assets can help government finances at a time when national budgets are tight.
  • But some assets may be difficult to assess, and officials lean toward “minimizing risk, not maximizing value.”
  • Privatization is just one solution to unlocking the true worth of state assets.
