  • In the interest of national security, The telecoms dilema, Not convertible to Maastricht, Hardly a model, Measuring the world.
  • A bid so finely priced as to put profits in doubt, a smouldering argument over 500 years of iron ore reserves, the lack of a new story to tell investors - these are the problems Merrill Lynch faces after winning the mandate to privatize Companhia Vale de Rio Doce. Competitors that failed to secure the contract say they are sleeping better now it has gone to someone else. Brian Caplen reports.
  • The Korean government is eager to sell off a large chunk of Korea Telecom, not least because it needs the money to help balance its budget. But with an issue of up to $2 billion likely, there's no way the local market can cope, especially when it's beset by scandal. So is it time for the finance ministry to call up some international investment bankers to discuss a foreign listing? Tony Shale reports.
  • Jean-Claude Komarovsky resists the temptation to retrieve some of the family silver from the Russians. Especially while there are plenty of Americans willing to get their fingers burnt.
  • Russian privatization has been rapid and controversial. Transfers to banks of stakes in the country's largest businesses have sparked a furious debate about the terms of the deals and whether or not the banks are improving management. But instead of changing tack, the government has been pushing ahead before the political climate changes. Vindicating its quick approach has been the much quieter and more successful sell-off of thousands of smaller companies.

Sophie Röell reports.

  • So much rests on the success of the Dm15 billion share issue for Deutsche Telekom, scheduled for November - not least the credibility of Frankfurt as a financial centre. But the odds are stacking up against a trouble-free issue. There's discontent in the top-heavy syndicate, the anti-trust measures under which Telekom will operate are still not clear, the German economy looks shaky and there are no plans to sweeten retail investors. Laura Covill reports.
  • From mafia ties and drug trafficking to bribery and insider dealing, allegations of corruption have tainted numerous privatizations around the world. As governments, bankers and investors are learning, to create stable market economies it is necessary to do more than shift assets out of governments' hands. The process also needs transparent procedures to monitor into whose hands they fall - and to determine who reaps the benefits. Michelle Celarier reports.
  • Despite difficult market conditions, there were significant privatization successes in 1995. In general, privatizers were more circumspect in their approach to the pricing, sizing, placement and timing of offers. Euromoney journalists report on six countries' efforts in difficult markets, and their future plans - followed by a list of major planned privatizations.
  • They are politicians, bankers, bureaucrats and academics. They range from British cabinet ministers, to Hungarian lawyers, to Wall Street investment bankers. But the number of individuals who have had a decisive influence on the course of world privatization since 1980 is surprisingly limited. Steven Irvine and other Euromoney journalists pick out 14 stars of privatization and visit its spiritual home, NM Rothschild.
