0 a sale of an unwanted business at a low price to encourage someone to buy it
1 a sale of a business, particular assets, etc. at a low price to encourage someone to buy it:
2 an occasion when a large number of shares in a company are sold, often causing their value to fall:
Also, these rules determine how pension funds will react in case of a fall in asset prices, possibly inducing a pro-cyclical sell-off of risky assets.
These included tightened regulatory oversight and a sell-off of many of the bailed-out banks to foreigners.
That sum is large enough to do away with the great bonanza of the tax handouts that the sell-off is intended to create.
The air traffic control sell-off was brought back on to the agenda to plug the gap.
No one doubts that the principle involved in the sell-off of air traffic control is very important.
That, unfortunately, is another legacy of the great playing field sell-off.
I believe this is a cynical rescue operation to save the water privatisation programme, to save the sell-off.
What is the effect on such a person of the sell-off of public assets at knock-down prices?
