The issue of state ownership and government intervention in the economy is a subject of debate among economic scholars. Given that the defining element of a country's economic system is determined by the nature of the government-market relationship and the limits of state intervention in the economic sphere, the effectiveness of economic development strategies depends on the extent of government ownership. Although Iran has consistently pursued development, state ownership of the economy has led to observable imbalances between development plans and their outcomes. One notable imbalance is the weakening of privatization. This article aims to examine the nature and extent of state ownership over the private sector by focusing on government performance during the 1390s decade (2011-2020). The analysis is based on the annual budget bills and the Sixth Development Plan, addressing three types of state involvement: "budgetary ownership," "non-budgetary ownership," and "proprietary intervention." The central question is: What relationship exists between the level of ownership and the size of the government with the institutionalization of privatization in the country?The research method is analytical-statistical, and data analysis is conducted based on Peter Evans' developmental state theory. Relying on economic data and statistics, the research hypothesis posits that due to weak government performance, not only has the reduction of ownership—as outlined in the Vision Document and development plans—not been realized, but the sheer volume of government ownership has also led to an increase in the size of the government and the marginalization of privatization. The findings indicate that the expansion of state ownership in Iran's economy has a significant negative effect on the success rate of privatization policies. Based on statistical and empirical results, increasing the current costs of state-owned enterprises, intervening in production instead of the private sector, and failing to fulfill supportive and regulatory roles have weakened private sector participation and reduced productivity. The findings emphasize the necessity of implementing government downsizing policies or reducing state ownership, thereby improving people-oriented economic governance.
