High-level meeting emphasizes inventory accuracy and revenue generation through the leasing of vacant assets to strengthen national fiscal stability.

The Ministry of Economy and Finance has introduced a set of five comprehensive recommendations designed to overhaul the management and utilization of state assets, ensuring they are handled with maximum efficiency and in strict accordance with the law. These directives were the primary focus of an annual review meeting held on March 6, 2026, aimed at inspecting and evaluating the progress of state asset management throughout 2025. The session was chaired by His Excellency Hean Sahip, Secretary of State and Chairman of the State Property Inventory Commission (C.B.T.).

The meeting served as a critical platform for monitoring ongoing challenges and defining the strategic roadmap for the coming year. To address existing bottlenecks and modernize current practices, His Excellency Hean Sahip detailed five key priorities. First, all state entities are required to meticulously record and maintain their respective property inventories to ensure full transparency and accountability. Second, the ministry plans to strengthen liquidation mechanisms, streamlining the process for disposing of or reallocating assets that are no longer in active use.

The third directive calls for deeper cooperation between internal units and the C.B.T. Secretariat to develop tailored solutions for complex management issues. In a move toward better fiscal resource management, the fourth recommendation urges units with vacant land or buildings to investigate leasing opportunities to generate additional revenue for the national budget. Finally, the ministry is committed to continuous capacity building, investing in professional training and knowledge-sharing initiatives to ensure that officials responsible for state assets possess the necessary expertise and professional standards. These initiatives collectively represent a proactive effort to safeguard public resources and enhance the overall financial health of the state.
