State Domain Expected to Generate Significant Revenue in 2025
The state domain is expected to generate considerable revenue in 2025, with receipts, rents, and other products reaching 1,952 billion dinars (Mtnd), including:
- 1,845 Mtnd in receipts
- 72 Mtnd in rents
- 1,497 Mtnd in dividends from public enterprises
- 150 Mtnd in interest on various accounts
- 87 Mtnd from state participations in different companies, including:
- 22,500 Mtnd from oil companies
- 64,500 Mtnd from non-oil companies
In total, the public domain is expected to generate 3,686 Mtnd in revenue next year. This shows that the state's management is not as bad as people think, and not all public enterprises are struggling. With some effort, it can improve and achieve a global balance.
What is lacking is a bit of boldness in using these resources to better integrate them into production. There are currently some initiatives to use state properties through community enterprises. It's too early to judge the effectiveness of this approach, but we believe that public-private partnerships would be more profitable. This asset is one of the means available to the executive to relaunch the economy, particularly in areas where investments are lacking, without spending a single dinar.
To achieve this, it is necessary to put in place the right technical and managerial skills, which are already available, and give them real freedom to make decisions. The "state shareholder" function is not always well-assured, as there are multiple stakeholders dispersed across different administrations. This is one of the most urgent reforms needed.
