Economy Minister Starts Government Asset Monetization Fund With the Ministry's Own Holdings

Economy Minister Ali Madanizadeh announced the launch of the government asset monetization fund at a session of the High Council for Monetizing Government Assets. According to Mehr News Agency on Sunday, November 1, 2026 (10 Aban 1405), assets are being placed in the fund first from the Economy Ministry itself, so every step of the process can be tested in practice.

The minister said the fund's units will be handed to executive bodies, which can sell them to raise cash or pass them directly to contractors. Madanizadeh expected the process to finish within one to two weeks, after which a full report will go to the cabinet so other bodies can learn how the model works.
