- The State will make it easier for the financing of non-State enterprises while businesses should, according to national regulations,maintain their financial affairs and funds management in good order in the financial markets.

- There should be public support for the development of non-State businesses in society while non-State enterprises should upgrade by innovation so that they win the confidence of society by products and services of good quality.
