English Translation

16 - 5 - to fight against price growth, smuggling, restraint and hamsters of food, as well as against any damage to economic life. Success stands by. Uncertainty in the country itself and the frequent interruption of traffic routes by the insurgent gangs also inhibit the other export possibilities e.g. for wood. There is already a shortage of firewood in Zagreb, the most important heating material here. No decisions have been taken on the question of the industrial structure of the lode, only the promotion of the wood and paper industry seems to be firm. The government has given itself by decree the authority to expropriate every enterprise without further delay. Män does not want to leave the economy with any disparaging elements, but one still obviously plays with the idea of nationalization and nationalization of the economy. In this context, it is worth mentioning the activities of the state-owned holding company Pohit, which OPAGS has already transferred to the state administration through the acquisition of the shares, e.g. the well-known wood industry company Guttmann, breweries and the edible oil factory in Zagreb. The newly remodelled Office for Economic Renewal, which liquidates the Jewish and Serbian enterprises, has been endowed with further powers, and the transfer of enterprises or holdings in foreign hands is dependent on the approval of this Office. Despite the tendency to prevent foreign acquisitions as far as possible, these will be achieved in particular cases for German purchasers.The financial situation is opaque and the government's revenues are unknown.
