40% of Iran petrochem industry to be privatized
In line with the
implementation of the policies outlined in Article 44 of the
Constitution, Iran plans to sell 40% of the shares of the
petrochemical industry as 'justice shares', which are
only made available to the underprivileged strata of Iran, MNA
reported.
Mehdi Aghajani, an official of the Central Headquarters for
Implementation of Article 44 of the Constitution, explained that
20% of the shares are being allocated to Iran's National
Petrochemical Company (NPC), 35% will be put on sale at the
Tehran Stock Exchange, and the remaining 5 percent would go to
petrochemical industry personnel.
The 20% allocated to the NPC is meant to support petrochemical
industry projects but may be offered to the private sector in the
future, he explained.
Seven development plans have been devised to boost the output of
the petrochemical industry, and in all these plans there is room
for private sector investment, Aghajani said.
If any private sector company seeks to set up a petrochemical
plant, the government will not oppose the plan, he added.
