  • Introduced Export Processing Zones (EPZs) to attract foreign direct investment and technology transfer.
  • Deregulated state banking and paved the way for private commercial banks and credit institutions.
  • Returned denationalized industrial units to private entrepreneurs to restore industrial productivity.
