On the other hand, in the case of disinvestment, an income asset is transformed into liquid cash. Here we will use the term disinvestment in a special sense. By disinvestment we mean the sale of public sector shares by the govt. This article also looks at some of the issues related to different investment, such as excuses, how much disinvestment, how to assign, and so on.
