The first consultative meeting on asset monetisation was held here on Wednesday. The meeting ended with a set of key takeaways which will assist in developing capacity and guidance on asset monetisation and accelerating the process, an official release said.
The meeting was organised by Department of Investment and Public Asset Management (DIPAM) in partnership with World Bank.
