Russia has big plans for privatization, but mostly they do not consist of “blue chips”, said Deputy Finance Minister Alexei Moiseev. According to him, the ministry “will definitely zhakhnet”, but in the future.
“We have very big plans for privatization, but these plans consist, probably, not so much of the“ blue chips ”of the Russian economy … We all … will definitely zhakh, but not now, a little for the future. As soon as possible, our task is to get rid of the colossal amount of treasury objects that no one needs in general, ”said Mr. Moiseev at the Moscow Financial Forum.
The deputy head of the Ministry of Finance explained that the objects that need to be disposed of are dilapidated buildings, abandoned sites, abandoned industrial facilities that fall into the ownership of the state by decision of the courts. “This is an asset with a negative value. Because not only does it bring nothing, it needs to be supported, ”the deputy minister said.
Accounts Chamber Chairman Alexei Kudrin earlier this week called for privatization. In his opinion, the large presence of the state in the economy leads to the replacement of competition with an administrative resource.
The Ministry of Finance in June submitted to the State Duma a bill to accelerate the sale of small state assets. The Ministry of Finance intends in this way to remove from itself the need to maintain low-liquidity and unnecessary property for the state in state property.
About the proposals of the Ministry of Finance – in the material of “Kommersant” “Sell, goodbye”.
