The move aimed to modernise public asset management and improve fiscal transparency as the country enters a new stage of economic development, according to the report.

The inventory will cover all assets managed by government agencies, public institutions and state-funded infrastructure projects.

The data will serve as a basis for optimising resource allocation, enhancing asset utilisation, and supporting socio-economic development strategies.
