Rural farmers stood to lose the least from stabilization and structural adjustment as they were generally not dependent on government subsidies and were able to benefit from increased competitiveness and access to markets due to liberalization policies. Import-competing firms, state-owned enterprises, workers in the urbanized non-traded goods sector, and public sector employees are all more heavily reliant on government support, protectionism, and subsidies, which were typically reduced or eliminated under stabilization and structural adjustment programs.
