PERSPECTIVES: PRIVATISATION FOR LONG-TERM NATIONAL INTEREST
After sustained efforts for over six years, we can witness
tangible results in many aspects. The economy is taking off.
This is due largely to market economic system being practised
today attracting foreign investment and promoting privatisation.
Today, foreign firms are actively engaged in production and
services in joint venture undertakings with the Government or
private entrepreneurs.
The Government has already decontrolled many business
undertakings with appropriate assistance duly provided to the
private sector. Still, there remain certain aspects of business
that should be transferred.
At a recent coordination meeting on privatisation, the
Secretary-1 of the State Law and Order Restoration Council
Lt-Gen Khin Nyunt spoke of business undertakings that should be
put into the hands of the private sector. Noticeably, emphasis
is placed on undertakings which could not be properly controlled
or managed as they are spread out in the country and their
performance is below capacity. Also included in the category are
those which require improvement and modernization through
sufficient funds and technology.
The Secretary-1 also named methods to be applied in
privatisation. he also took into consideration the absorbing of
employees on privatisation. He then called on the ministries
concerned to find ways to systematically transfer State-owned
enterprises to the private sector.
Doubtless, privatisation is a must at a time when we are
practising market economic system and witnessing fruits of our
endeavours. At the same time, we must keep in mind the behests
of the Chairman of the State Law and Order Restoration Council
Senior General Than Swe.
Government organizations are to extend a helping hand to private
entrepreneurs who are nationals and enable them to do business
competently. Only with competence will they be able to establish
a viable economy for their own good and for the nation's as
well.
Privatisation is being introduced with aims which include making
the most beneficial use of the nation's natural resources,
applying modern technology and creating jobs for the majority of
the national people. But it will be contrary to the original
aims if just a group of people is allowed to take the lion's
share of the fruits of privatisation. Privatisation, therefore,
should be in the long-term interests of the largest majority of
the people and the nation.
