"The government takes measures 'aimed at improving the competitiveness and capabilities of domestic firms and promoting structural transformation'."

"Industrial policies are interventionist measures typical of mixed economy countries."
"Many types of industrial policies contain common elements with other types of interventionist practices such as trade policy."
