Chairman of the Mining and Mining Industries Commission of the Iranian Chamber of Commerce: Regarding the total transfers that have been made so far, it should be said that this important thing has been one hundred and forty-nine thousand billion tomans, which shows that the government has become bigger every day and has become an obstacle to privatization.

According to the International Iranian Stone Exhibition, one of the problems that economic activists have always spoken about and complained about is that they do not involve the private sector in legislation and policy-making. While one of the principles of improving the business environment is that the government in the policies and the parliament in the legislation to oversee the private sector in practice and use their opinions effectively.

However, as a rule, the views of the private sector are not taken into account in the formulation of laws and policies, or sometimes, when opinions are taken into account, they are not taken into account in practice. Unfortunately, this model has been introduced in the country so that governments and representatives can make policy and legislation, and the private sector can only implement it. One of the most important things to do is to pay attention to the opinions of the private sector; Because the enactment of any law according to the opinion of the private sector in various industrial and mining sectors can provide a basis for further flourishing of various economic sectors of the country.

Despite the rules, the private sector is not considered in the economy. This is in line with Article 44 of the Constitution, which divides the country's economic system into three categories: public, private, and cooperative. As it turns out, the burden on the government is heavier and the role for the private sector is less important. Later, when we came to the conclusion that the private sector should be given importance, clauses were added to Article 44. For example, in Section A, it became clear that the government was obliged to help strengthen the private sector. Prison "C" was also mentioned, wherever it is required, entrepreneurship will be reduced and the government will hand over economic activity to the private sector.

Regarding all the transfers that have been made so far, it should be said that this important thing has been one hundred and forty-nine thousand billion tomans so far, which shows that the government has become bigger every day and has become an obstacle for privatization. In the meantime, fifty percent of one hundred and forty-nine thousand billion tomans are at the disposal of private companies, part of which is intended for justice shares and part for debt cancellation instead of debt of contractors' claims. Thus we see that only about seventeen percent has been transferred to the real private sector in various industrial and mining sectors. This figure shows how small the role of the real private sector is.
