The monetization of assets provides for a temporary license / leasing of an asset owned by the state or a public authority for an advance or regular concession to a private sector company, whereby the concessionaire is decided by means of a transparent tendering process. The NMP would involve around 12 government departments and 20 asset classes, including additional sectors such as aviation, shipping, warehousing, urban real estate, mining facilities and petroleum product pipelines.
