The proposal of Minister Samat to hand over car manufacturers to the armed forces was rejected
According to the online economy report, quoted by Tasnim, Hossein Ghorbanzadeh in a consensus meeting today, Thursday, stating that two more meetings regarding Assignment of car manufacturers It was held at Allameh Sharif University of Technology, he said: We hope to reach a conclusion about this challenge of privatization and transfer in this meeting, which will be held at Amir Kabir University of Technology.
He added: One of the points that is always mentioned is to act instead of holding a meeting. Our effort is to finalize the handover model after this meeting.
In this meeting, as the first speaker from the academic community, Qadsipour, the head of the Faculty of Management of Amir Kabir University, said: In a foreign project, we saw that the study work lasted for three years, but the implementation of the project did not take more than four months. This does not mean that the study work will take so long that the project will be out of capacity. More attention should be paid to the importance of undergraduate materials.
He continued: “The nature of ownership is important, but we rarely saw that a precise scientific pathology was done on the handovers.” We have about 15,000 engineers who are undergoing additional facilities and these potentials should be used. We will revolutionize the formation of academic consortia to help industry/automotive industry.
In this Akbarpour meeting, the university professor stated that the car has been chosen as one of the strategies of Amirkabir University and said: We promise that in the future, if the name of the car comes, the name of Amirkabir University will also come along with it. Our policy belief is that we win when the academic community moves hand in hand. We are in the process of forming academic consortia to help the industry.
He emphasized: In this way, it will be possible to create wealth in the private sector. We are moving towards creating wealth for the country. Privatization of industries is the result of unregulated privatization.
Akbarpour, referring to the plan that was carried out regarding the expansion and modernization organization in the seventies, said: One of the reasons why the automobile industry was chosen for this purpose was the issue of employment and international competitiveness. It was supposed that with the handover, the automobile industry could grow. We were not supposed to violate the scientific rules in the implementation. Still, if the circulation of production reaches below the breaking point, it will suffer. At some point, not only did we not consider this loss, but we continued with the same conditions and even touched the price.
Handing over loss-making companies is the first wrong step to bypass the privatization rules
He added: Automobile manufacturing was supposed to move our economy and activate the chain of factories in the production sector, and this is still possible. When a company is unprofitable and we want to hand it over, we have actually broken the basic rules of privatization, which results in the privatization of the industry. Privatization should be done in the form of industrial development program.
In the continuation of the meeting, Majid Pour, the head of the Faculty of Management and Science and Technology of Amir Kabir University, said: We played a good role in the gasoline subsidy debate that was implemented in Kish. We should see the issue of share transfer in a general way. Have we thought about post-handover today? We have successful and failed experiences in this field. During the Thatcher period in England, we saw the failure of the privatization project in the electricity industry of this country. We must first have an industry roadmap where privatization is used as part of this path.
He continued: The continuation of an unfavorable policy and trend in the automobile industry has caused us to consider privatization as an emotional solution. We should see the car economy and the car industry together, and these things should be included in the country’s industrial development puzzle. We see car production as a substitute for imports, but we have to do it with an export approach.
Majidpour emphasized that supportive and competitive policies should be at the same time. He said: Until today, we have only had supportive policies. In the field of car import, we see a bureaucratic process. Categorize the key issues of the Ministry of Economy and leave them to the universities. This issue will cause the universities to be targeted in the way of helping the country’s economy. First, we need to practice privatization.
Shojaei, a representative of Majlis Research Center, said: We do not have a clear strategy in the automobile industry. A main pillar of the strategy is to have clear goals, but we don’t have them. There is no coherence between the policies. The tariff policy is moving forward with one mechanism, while the industry is moving forward with another policy.
The last column is also the final discussion that does not exist in the field of automobile manufacturing, and we do not know how the duties of each machine in this industry are described. Unless there is a proper mechanism, any of the formats that are determined may not work.
He said: “If external discussions such as pricing and tariffs are not taken into consideration, we will face challenges even after setting foot.” Another point is intra-company requirements such as cyclical stocks. The last requirement that is important and must be before Assignment of car manufacturers To be considered by the government, it is necessary to carry out exercises for the transition period of privatization of automobile factories. We have to see if we can afford not to interfere in the decisions of the private sector.
Planning the joint production of five million cars between Iran and Russia/production of “high-tech” parts with the cooperation of three countries
Ebrahimi Asl, Deputy Director of Planning and Investment of the General Staff of the Armed Forces, also said in this meeting: The Supreme Leader announced to us a charter based on which economic entry was possible. Discipline, non-competition with the private sector and cooperation with the needs of the government are among these things. At the beginning of the year, Russia invited Iran to help us with regard to the sanctions. The second paragraph was related to car spare parts. They informed us of 93 types of supplies. Three weeks ago, at the joint meeting of Iran and Russia, the Russians asked us again what was the result of the exhibition we held. The plan that Novak, the Deputy Prime Minister of Russia, talked about. A contract has been signed with “Sairan” and we are sending parts.
We announced that we can supply the required parts within a year. Another point is about high-tech parts, which is supposed to be done with the cooperation of the private sector of Iran, China and Russia.
He added: In the medium term, the plan is to produce three million and in the long term, five million, of which two million devices are Iran’s share and one million for BRICS member countries. Of course, it has been said that the private sector’s cooperation is a condition because Iran Khodro and Saipa are unprofitable.
Ebrahimi Asal said: “Not long ago, the Minister of Industry announced that we should hand over the automobile manufacturers to the General Staff.” It was answered that we will not accept even with one rial because it is against the orders of the Supreme Leader, and the productivity of the public sector is higher than the private sector.
Ebrahimi Asal said: The management of the automobile industry has questioned the government and you should take a brave step for privatization.
The nature of the growth of large industries is the destruction of small industries
In the continuation of this meeting, Kakaei pointed out that we don’t want showy exports and said: We must have competitive production. Export must be profitable. It is important to follow the right rules. Legally speaking, the two automobile factories are private today, today their management can be given to the private sector, and we have to see if we have the tolerance to accept private management or not.
He added: We need a new policy for the competition of the year. Based on this, we need new regulation in the whole market and borders. Tariffs should be defined in the entire chain and there should be a balance. When the presence of elders in an industry is formed, smaller industries will disappear. We need to define a system that allows the cooperation of small and large industries, the Competition Council should play this role.
