Word origin

The concept of denationalization emerged as a response to the inefficiencies and economic stagnation associated with state-owned enterprises. It gained traction in the late 20th century as many countries sought to liberalize their economies and promote private sector participation. Denationalization is often seen as a means to increase competition, efficiency, and innovation in industries previously monopolized by the state.
