In the year 2023, the Department of Public Enterprises (DPE) has exhibited commitment to fostering economic growth and efficiency across various key areas.

In alignment with the government's support measures for Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs), CPSEs have demonstrated a robust commitment to inclusive procurement.

These achievements underscore the DPE’s pivotal role in driving economic progress and fostering a conducive environment for sustainable growth within the public sector.

Following are some of the major achievements of the Department of Public Enterprises, Ministry of Finance, in 2023:
