Finance Minister Roger Douglas (left) and State-Owned Enterprises Minister Richard Prebble are presented with a cheque for $6.3 billion by Electricorp chair John Fernyhough in 1988. At the time this was the biggest financial transaction in New Zealand's history. This was part of the corporatisation and privatisation of state-owned enterprises that occurred in the late 1980s and into the 1990s.
