<\/a> The draft of the government\u2019s ownership policy just leaked:<\/strong> The government intends to fully withdraw from as many as 79 industries over the next three years as part of plans to restructure the economy in favor of the private sector, according to a draft of its state ownership policy obtained by Al Masry Al Youm<\/a> yesterday. Coming two days after Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly announced new details of the government\u2019s privatization plans<\/a>, the draft document outlines the industries which the government plans to open up to private companies and the ringfenced strategic sectors which will continue to see heavy state involvement.<\/p>\n

REFRESHER-<\/strong> The government wants to double the private sector\u2019s role in the economy over the next three years in a bid to attract bns of USD of fresh investment into the country, Madbouly announced Sunday. It is aiming to raise USD 40 bn over the next four years by selling stakes in state-owned assets to local and international investors.<\/p>\n

The document obtained by AMAY divides the economy into three groups:<\/strong><\/p>\n

#1 \u201cTake it all\u201d:<\/strong> There are 79 sectors that the government intends to \u201cfully exit\u201d over the next three years. These include the automotive sector, some manufacturing industries like furniture, electrical appliances, leather and glass, fertilizers, and agricultural production (minus wheat).<\/p>\n

Caveat: \u201cFully exit\u201d doesn\u2019t necessarily mean fully exit:<\/strong> Some industries in this group \u2060\u2014 such as food and drink \u2060\u2014 the government intends only to hand over management to the private sector, and will retain ownership of the assets.<\/p>\n

#2 \u201cWe\u2019ll give you some of these\u201d:<\/strong> The government will phase out its involvement in another 45 sectors. Heavy industries such as cement, iron and aluminum manufacturing, and consumer-facing industries like meat and cigarettes are listed here. It also includes some infrastructure: energy infrastructure such as oil refineries, power plants, transmission and distribution networks and renewable energy projects, as well as wastewater treatment plants and desalination projects will all see greater private sector participation.<\/p>\n

#3 \u201cHands off\u201d:<\/strong> These are sectors the government considers strategic and are mostly infrastructure-related. Think: transport networks, telecoms infrastructure and water systems. Wholesale trade, health, education and pharma are also listed here as are some financial services such as brokerages and ins. The document notes that the private sector will be allowed to increase ownership in some of these sectors, without providing details.<\/p>\n

NOTE-<\/strong> The document says that privatization will be \u201cphased and gradual\u201d to minimize \u201cunfavorable\u201d repercussions on revenues and employees.<\/p>\n

High-tech sectors are earmarked for PPPs:<\/strong> The document says that the government will explore public-private partnerships (PPPs) in 18 tech industries, including artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things (IoT), cybersecurity and energy storage, to support the country\u2019s digital transformation. There are also plans to set up a dedicated committee made up of government and private sector representatives that will assess the legal and regulatory environment to shift the economy towards next-generation technologies.<\/p>\n

The ECA would get sharper teeth:<\/strong> The Egyptian Competition Authority (ECA) would be handed new powers to take \u201cproactive steps\u201d to limit market entry barriers and prevent state interference in the economy. The regulator doesn\u2019t currently have the authority to enforce competition laws or penalize anti-competitive practices by the state.<\/p>\n

THE BIG REVEAL:<\/strong> The final document will be published by the government before the end of May<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
