The Minister added that we aim to expand the projects of participation with the private sector "P.P.P." in various sectors of national priority, within the framework of the State's supportive and stimulating efforts to maximize private investments, pointing out that expanding the concept of the general government by merging 59 economic bodies with the budget authorities contributes to "budget comprehensiveness" and improving financial risk management, and then maintaining financial stability.
