The figures were advanced by the coordinator for the technical area of the Privatization Program, Osvaldo João, after a meeting of the Interministerial Commission. The official said that six of the total of the 13 industrial units have already been effectively awarded, followed by another five in the coming days.
The commission was also informed about the results of the public tender regarding the allocation of the right to explore and manage three textile units located in the provinces of Benguela, Luanda and Cuanza Norte.
The award, in the amount of 264 billion kwanzas, includes the payment of fixed or variable annual rents based on revenues, and the exercise of the right to purchase, says Angop.
