2011 was a year of global financial retrenchment, prompted by the emergence of multiple sovereign debt crises in Europe and the fallout from political fights over raising the U.S. federal government’s borrowing limit. These crises hit planned privatization offerings very hard, and governments raised only €68.2 billion through divestments during 2011, less than half the record €159.9 billion raised globally during 2010.
