Government shares are transferred to car companies

Eqtesadonline – Mehdi Beyk; “The government should divest its shares in car companies to the private sector.” Evaluate. But according to Ghorbanzadeh, head of the Privatization Organization, although about 5 percent of Iran Khodro and 17 percent of Saipa are owned by the government, because these shares are in the form of collateral, the government must first sell them to sell them. Take out the declared documents, then sell. According to the Deputy Chairman of the Parliamentary Industries Commission, in the current situation, the President and his First Vice President, as the coordinators of government economic decisions, agree to transfer government shares in car factories and will provide the basis for its implementation if legal grounds are provided. کرد. It remains to be seen whether such decisions will eventually lead to the country’s automotive industry moving out of its current state and moving towards improving quality indicators and standardizing its products.

In this regard, referring to the root of the problems of the automotive industry, the deputy chairman of the parliamentary industry commission says: Regarding the automotive industry, it is the government that is in the position of the accused, because it has the main role in producing production, pricing, strategy and managers. Although officials point out that the government has a small stake in the industry, it is a fact that the government’s heavy shadow casts heavily on the country’s car industry.

Noting that both the president and the first vice president want the transfer of government shares in the automotive industry and correct this wrong process, Jedi said: “Minister Samat should also pay attention to these demands and provide the ground for the transfer of government shares in automotive companies.” The parliament strongly calls for the correction of the turbulent situation in the automotive industry, and if Minister Samat does not take the necessary measures, he will be impeached.

The deputy chairman of the parliamentary industry commission reminded: “I think this privatization should be done in the first year of the government’s activities, because the passage of time will change governments, ministers and even the end of the parliamentary term.” Therefore, these measures should be on the agenda as soon as possible.

In another part of the conversation, he stated: Imports are pursued all over the world with two goals. On the one hand, there is a balance in supply and demand and the shortcomings of the domestic market are covered. On the other hand, the market becomes competitive. The tariff system is also a tool that governments use to try to improve the domestic car industry.

“Once the automaker is aligned with the tariff system, governments will slowly reduce car import tariffs so that domestic automakers can compete internationally,” Jedi said. This is the path that most countries that have a dynamic automotive industry today have taken, but in Iran there is a misconception that the import ban is to help domestic automakers, while this misconception is wrong.

He added that the ban on car imports not only does not help the domestic industry, but also creates a monopoly and causes domestic production to collapse. The first effect of imports is to raise the level of domestic car manufacturing. At the same time, it removes the pressure of producing more cars from the managers of the car industry, and they take action to improve the quality of their products.

Jedi concluded: The parliament is pursuing the issue of transferring government shares in car companies and being in the role of regulator and guide. After the approval of the President and the First Vice President, the issue is on the agenda and the Ministry of Silence should provide the ground for the transfer of government shares in car companies as soon as possible.
