The report included three main findings centering on cross-cutting distortions, including the role of state-owned enterprises and state allocution of resources; factors of production distortions, including "discriminatory allocation and access to resources, such as land, labour, raw materials, and energy"; and distortions in various sectors, including "preferential access to finance" across various sectors.
