Is the state of the local industry suitable for public institutions, which has been spoiled by an era of bureaucratic administrative management? The outcome of the strategy adopted by the public authorities, represented by the Ministry of Industry and Pharmaceutical Production, within its new approach, is the facilitation and simplification of management procedures, in order to overcome a stage in which the industrial public institutions, including the most important complexes affiliated with the sector, were a burden on the government and the public treasury as a result of pumping billions to save them from bankruptcy and layoffs, To profitable “economic” enterprises competing abroad as well as at home.
