Chamber of Commerce Faults Privatization Rules

Head of the Iran Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture says the government must make fundamental changes to rules governing divestment of state-owned property.
Referring to Article 44 of the Islamic Republic Construction, Gholamhossein Shafe’i complained that the “government has flouted its main duty to empower private enterprise.”
Urging the new administration not to lose valuable time, he said:  “The government has to develop a new mechanism to move its privatization policy forward,” the ICCIMA website reported.
