The document discusses facts about privatization, Chile, and Poland. It notes that privatization started in 1989 and was pioneered in Asia and Latin America before spreading to transition economies. Chile pioneered the privatization movement and created a strong market-based economy with targeted government involvement. Poland launched a radical stabilization plan in early 1990 and adopted a privatization plan that summer, though only about 10% of companies were fully privatized by mid-1992.
