👉 Nationalizations are actions that a government takes to control or regulate certain sectors of its economy. These actions can include privatization, state ownership, or other forms of economic restructuring. Nationalized companies are often subject to greater regulation and oversight than their non-nationalized counterparts, as they have more political influence and may be in competition with private sector firms. The goal of nationalizations is typically to protect the country's economy from external pressures and maintain its sovereignty over its own resources and markets.
