MIM oversees 19 mixed companies in different sectors: engineering, food, chemical and construction, with a minimum of 25% public participation
Fixed sector companies suffer from the same difficulties faced by SOEs such as the old machinery and lack of adapting advanced technologies in production, the need of technical training on modern management concepts, weak marketing capabilities. Added to all this is war destruction.
Mixed sector companies adapted the amendment to Companies Law number 21 Year 1997 (decree number 64 issued in March 3, 2004). Amendment includes minimizing MIM’s supervisory role, reduction of the number of public sector Board members from 3 to 2 if the share is less than 50%. Article 1 Section 12 made it possible for Iraqis and foreigners to participate in the Company’s capital, and membership right, thus making it possible for the companies to upgrade production capacity through the introduction of foreign investment. This should be done based on an extended evaluation to the anticipated investing companies to determine serious offers that cover development and upgrading processes.
Transformation of some State Owned production lines to mixed sector, where Private sector can participate. This can be a means to minimize the role of government, and to encourage more participation from the private sector.
