Privatization has now spread to all sectors of the economy, including drinking water supply and sanitation services. Private sector involvement in the provision of these services offers potentially significant efficiency gains, but it will not, in itself, guarantee lasting welfare improvement unless these services are provided in a competitive market., UL https://www.un-ilibrary.org/content/journals/16840348/1998/65/11
