Members of the private sector emphasize that in order to solve the economic crisis in the country, the government should expand its efforts to develop investment in energy production and water management.
According to them, development of investment in large projects will also help create jobs.
Experts in the economic field also believe that attracting private investment in the energy and water sectors will be effective in improving the country’s economy.
