Description

:

THE MINISTRY OF ECONOMY HAS GONE THROUGH SEVERAL PROCESSES OF STRENGTHENING ITS FUNCTIONS TO STRENGTHEN THE ROLE OF THE UPE IN PLANNING THE COUNTRY'S SOCIOECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. THIS INCLUDES THE REORGANIZATION OF ITS ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE IN 2007, WHICH HAS SPECIALIZED THE FIELD OF PLANNING INTO TWO SECTORS, NAMELY MACRO PLANNING AND SECTORAL PLANNING. IN 2009, THE PRIVATIZATION AND FINANCING OF PRIVATE INITIATIVES (PFI) SECTION OF THE EPU WAS TRANSFERRED TO THE PUBLIC PRIVATE COOPERATION UNIT (UKAS), A NEW AGENCY UNDER THE PRIME MINISTER'S DEPARTMENT. WITH THE CHANGE OF GOVERNMENT AFTER THE 14TH GENERAL ELECTION IN 2018, UPE HAS BEEN RESTRUCTURED INTO A MINISTRY, WHICH IS THE MINISTRY OF ECONOMIC AFFAIRS (MEA). MEA'S MAIN MANDATE IS TO LEAD THE NATION'S SOCIOECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT THROUGH QUALITY PLANNING TOWARD INCLUSIVE, FAIR, AND EQUITABLE NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT. IN ADDITION, THE MEA IS ALSO GIVEN SUPERVISORY RESPONSIBILITY FOR 31 AGENCIES, STATUTORY BODIES, GOVERNMENT-RELATED COMPANIES AND STATE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATIONS. FOLLOWING THE DECISION OF THE COUNCIL OF MINISTERS DATED 18 DECEMBER 2019, THE UPE WAS OFFICIALLY DISSOLVED, WITH THE ROLE AND FUNCTIONS OF THE UPE BEING TAKEN OVER BY THE MEA. WITH THAT, THE MEA FUNCTION IS MORE COMPREHENSIVE, COVERING ASPECTS OF PLANNING, IMPLEMENTATION, MONITORING, AND REGULATION.
