According to the budget bill for 2026, out of a total of 8897 trillion tomans allocated to state companies, 3640 trillion tomans, equivalent to 41 percent, is dedicated to loss-making companies. This statistic indicates the high share of loss-making enterprises from public resources and their role in the government's economic crisis.
Why is no action taken?
The large share of these companies is one of the reasons for the increasing annual deficit in the budget. However, it is still unclear why no action is being taken to privatize or cut the budget for these companies. Is the government satisfied with this situation, or has negligence on this issue led to the continuation of the crisis?
