A two-paragraph news story from Reuters says that Albania's Communist
government is planning to privatize some government-owned companies,
but does not explictly mentioned telecommunications operations or
telecommunications manufacturing. I expect that telecommunications
will remain in government hands unless the communists lose power.
Here's the story, as it appeared in {The Globe and Mail}, April 6, 1991:
Albania Reveals Plan to Privatize
TIRANA (Reuters) -- Albania's Communist rulers, struggling with
Europe's pooest economy, said they will announce an extensive
privatization plan before the end of the month and legalize joint
ventures with foreign companies, the Community daily Zeri i Popullit
said yesterday [April 5].
It said the move will permit the creation of co-operative
enterprises, joint ventures and joint-stock companies financied either
by private capital or by loans for the state.
