The economic performance of New Zealand Rail

Author

  • ISCR

Abstract

In 1993, the New Zealand government sold its interest in rail to a consortium of private sector owners. Eight years on, Tranz Rail is itself proposing to sell sections of its operations to new owners. Among interested potential buyers are both central and local government interests. If they are successful, we will have gone full circle with the transfer of ownership of some operations back into public hands.
