Voucher privatization ({{Langx|cs|Kupónová privatizace}}, {{Langx|ru|Ваучерная приватизация|translit=Vauchernaya privatizatsiya}}) is a privatization method where citizens are given or can inexpensively buy a book of vouchers that represent potential shares in any state-owned company. Voucher privatization has mainly been used in the early to mid-1990s in the transition economies of Central and Eastern Europe, including Bulgaria, Slovenia, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
