An employee incentive system will be implemented in parallel with a mechanism to monitor and follow up on the services provided to taxpayers and measure taxpayers\u2019 satisfaction with employees, Kouchouk explained. He added that the incentive package includes contracting with an independent third party to conduct periodic evaluations that determine how much the taxpayer benefits from the new relief measures and address any gaps if they exist.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Madbouly also we<\/strong><strong>ighed in on the privatization program\u2019s progress: <\/strong>The prime minister affirmed that despite recent economic and geopolitical hurdles that saw the government rearrange its priorities for certain companies included in its privatization offering, the state remains committed to attracting investments in a way that maximizes the benefits of privatization for the state.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>More incentives are coming our way next week: <\/strong>The government is set to announce further investment incentives, including a new export rebate program, Madbouly said at the press conference.
