Gov’t Wants to Sell 2,500 Surplus Assets

The Economy Ministry has prepared an inventory of 2,500 properties owned by different government organizations that   have no legal constraints vis-à-vis divestments.
The properties are estimated to be worth 170 trillion rials ($607 million), according to Fatemeh Dadgar, head of the ministry’s Department for Government Assets.   
“These properties have been recognized as excess and are ready for sale, and have all the legal ownership documents,” she was quoted as saying by the Economy Ministry news agency, shada.ir.   
Divestible assets can be sold either via public auction or at the Iran Mercantile Exchange.
