The Senate will use its financial committee\u2019s report on the Planning Ministry\u2019s budget to discuss some reps\u2019 objections to the wider privatization plan, which is set to see the government 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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What they said: <\/strong>\u201cWe think that the state\u2019s dominant role, going hand in hand with the private sector, should be maintained in order for the country to be able to stand up to global economic crises, absorb their shock and mitigate their negative impact on vulnerable classes,\u201d the report reads. It also calls on state-owned industrial firms to be restructured to maximize exports and foreign-denominateed earnings, \u201cinstead of privatizing or selling off these companies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>REMEMBER- This is all part of the normal cut and thrust of parliamentary politics (and some reps don\u2019t love to hear the word \u201cprivatization\u201d). <\/strong>Some MPs in the House of Representatives have also been <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/750edb4f-028c-4036-a98d-58f6856f1b18\">voicing their opposition<\/a> to the state\u2019s plans to sell stakes in state-owned assets to local and international investors \u2014 and any mention of privatization has long spooked a certain segment of elected officials.
