Private sector

There is a well-established saying in the mind of the late economic thinker Dr. Mahdi al-Hafez in one of his conversations at a workshop held by businessmen in 2006 to discuss the role of influential economic and developmental decisions. "So far, the private sector has not presented anything important that embarrasses the government to rely on it," he said.
The man was urging the private sector to make important achievements on which the government depends on restoring the economic situation of the country. This period was demanded by the private sector to obtain financial support to provide achievements and in a way that led to the establishment of a wrong culture in relying on the state for financial gain, Service remember in return.
The private sector has been able to leave that culture and rely on its own and financial capabilities to provide the required services and achievements after excluding the parasitic elements calculated by the private sector. This was followed by the government's recognition of the importance of relying on the private sector and giving it a role in participating in the management of the economic file and implementation of development programs One of the most prominent indicators of interest is the development and launching of the strategy to develop the performance of the private sector.
But these days we are surprised by the large number of calls and exaggerated by some media statements on the need to involve the private sector in the committees that deal with economic decisions and this action has already been through the inclusion of a number of businessmen in these committees.
The government went even further through the participation of businessmen and representatives of the private sector in official delegations, but in this regard, it is noted that the real representatives of the activities that delegations are dealing with are not chosen.
In this regard, the private sector must prove its ability to assume these tasks, especially that most of the activities and events provided by the private sector, which draws the attention of the government to its ability and ability to contribute seriously to the success of the tasks and objectives of official delegations and push the government to include specialized representatives of the private sector in joint committees with Government executives work to share the insights and experiences required.
On the other hand, the private sector must prove its ability to meet the requirements and duties of the delegations and to push for their adoption by the government without any individual demands and false benefits.
It is useful to note that there are many economic organizations that include businessmen with expertise and competencies with high capacity in the art of negotiation and serving the functions of joint delegations and this feature makes the government believes in the need to involve them in these important activities.
The most important thing required from the private sector at this stage is that holding holding companies with high-quality investment terms enables them to get closer to receiving the management of the economic file, because such companies represent the economic strength of the sector.
