Al-Hussaini explained that "there are comments, whether from the representatives or from the experts, and they will be included in a paper prepared alongside the law," noting that "the committee is determined to vote on it with the available capabilities because it sees it as important in this law, which can bring about major reform in the economic reality of the country."

He also stressed the "importance of the Industrial Investment Law for the public and private sectors, to accurately diagnose this partnership," indicating that "the contracts concluded in accordance with this law will be beneficial and profitable for both parties, unlike some contracts whose negatives outweigh their positives in the industrial sector, and which oblige the state to long-term, impossible conditions."
