For LILAMA, VICEM, Song Da, VIGLACERA and HUD which are either holding a large amount of assets or are building key national projects, the rate of State capital will be reduced to 51% to ensure the State’s controlling stake there through 2020. The State stake in those five will be further reduced in the following years.
In the remaining ten corporations and joint stocks companies, the State-owned stake will be reduced to 36% which will be transferred to the SCIC or designated agencies to manage in 2018 and 2019.
Ha said the ministry will continue to instruct the divestment of State capital from affiliates and associated companies of its corporations in the next four years.
At the session, Deputy Prime Minister Vuong Dinh Hue, head of the Steering Committee for Enterprise Reform and Development, asked the MoC to complete a roadmap for divesting and transferring the right to represent State ownership at SOEs to fully protect the State’s interests.
He also instructed the MoC to bring the State stake in LILAMA, VICEM, Song Da, VIGLACERA and HUD to below 51% by 2019 by the latest, while the sale of all State capital in the other 10 corporations and joint stock companies should be completed in 2018.
Hue also requested the ministry accelerate the listing of equitised businesses in the stock market.
