This came in a statement by the spokesman for the Royal Palace following a ministerial council chaired by the Monarch Saturday, during which the finance and economy minister delivered a presentation on the ongoing reform of state enterprises. The state stakeholder approach views public enterprises as a strategic lever to consolidate national sovereignty via backing state efforts in an array of critical sectors, such as energy, health, water, food security, the environment, connectivity, and mobility, said the minister Nadia Fettah. The approach is also aimed at making public enterprises conducive to attracting private investments by engaging in partnerships with the private sector. The fourth pillar consists in bolstering the competitiveness of state-owned enterprises to be able to offer productive jobs and stand out in a competitive environment, the minister added. The seventh pillar consists in strengthening the role of state-owned enterprises in promoting governance and improving performance, she said.
