Privatization Debate

    Al-Sharaa denounced plans toprivatize state-owned enterprises, calling them a "national asset builtover decades," and warned against selling them off to addressinefficiencies, arguing that "the issue is not with the public sectoritself, but with the mismanagement that has plagued it."

    Rather than privatization, headvocated for "restructuring these enterprises to improve efficiency, cutwaste, and boost economic output," raising concerns over job security,namely the fate of thousands of workers if privatization proceeds.
