The contours of public sector assets management in the country have changed with the government recently articulating a directional change on public assets, Minister for Finance and Corporate Affairs Nirmala Sitharaman said in Bengaluru on Friday.
She was inaugurating a conference, “Creating wealth through markets”, as part of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav being organised in 75 cities across the country, at the IISc here.
The nature of public sector asset management had changed since the Budget 2021 had introduced a directional change that the private sector would be allowed in all sectors except for four core/strategic areas, she added.
