In our country, the privatization process has bean seriously started in 2006, with the notification of general policies of the Principle 44 of the Constitution, and subsequently, the Law for the enforcement of the said policies was legislated in 2008. Privatization is often referred to as the economic revolution in Iran. Undoubtedly, the proper enforcement of the said policies owes to the uninterrupted and brave efforts of all the privatization policy players in the Country, specially the Iranian Privatization Organization (IPO).
