محمد خاتمي، رئيس جمهوري اسلامي، از عدم پيشرفت سريع روند خصوصي سازي انتقاد كرد. در گزارش ارائه شده به رئيس جمهوري پيش بيني شد كه درآمد حاصل از فروش شركت هاي دولتي تا پايان سال جاري به 5 هزار ميليارد ريال نخواهد رسيد كه از نصف رقم پيش بيني شده در قانون بودجه كمتر است. تنها سه وزارتخانه نفت، نيرو و جهادكشاورزي براي واگذاري شركتهاي تحت پوشش خود اقداماتي انجام داده اند ولي ساير وزارتخانه ها هنوز به سازمان خصوصي سازي وكالت نداده اند. علي ميرزاخاني، روزنامه نگار در تهران، در مصاحبه با راديوآزادي مي گويد: شركت هاي دولتي ابزار مالي، سياسي و اجتماعي وزرائي هستند كه به نمايندگي از سوي جناح هاي سياسي و حاكميت در هيات دولت عضويت دارند. وي مي افزايد: برخلاف بودجه عمومي كه حساب و كتاب دارد، بودجه شركت هاي دولتي در قيدوبند حسابرسي نيست. وي مي افزايد: منافع مالي و منافع سياسي مانع از موافقت وزرا با خصوصي سازي شركتها و كارخانجات وابسته به دولت مي شود. علاوه بر اين، شركتهاي دولتي پشتوانه اجتماعي جناح هاي سياسي هستند و نيروها و اطرافيان آنها را استخدام مي كنند و به آنها حقوق مي پردازند و به شركتهاي خصوصي اقماري خود پول مي رسانند و رانت هاي مختلفي را تقسيم مي كنند.
