Is there a business case to sell publicly owned assets?

Over the last few weeks, Auckland Mayor Wayne Brown has attempted to get councillors on side with his desire to sell the council’s shares in Auckland Airport.     Selling publicly owned assets always sparks controversy on both sides of the political divide, but is selling them in the favour of the entities themselves? This week, Damien is joined by Fisher Finds portfolio manager Matt Peek to discuss the business case for selling publicly owned assets, why markets want to see more of them listed, and what an airport sale could mean for the passenger experience. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
