It examines whether the financial and operating performance of the privatized enterprises improved after privatization. The Wilcoxon signed rank test and percentage change were the principal methods used in testing for significant change in profitability, operating efficiency, Growth, Employment, Dividend, and Leverage of the privatized insurance companies. The findings of the study from the tests for the privatized insurance companies lend support to the propositions that privatization improves the financial performances of privatized insurance companies. Except for changes in employment that shows mixed results, statistically, there is a significant increase in profitability, operating efficiency, growth, and dividend payment for the privatized insurance companies.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPrivatization, Insurance, Financial, Operating Performance.Conference Object
