[Equitisation of State-owned enterprises remains sluggish]
To speed up equitisation for the rest of the year, the Ministry of Industry and Trade has to accelerate the sale of State-owned capital in Hanoi Beer Alcohol and Beverage Joint Stock Corporation (Habeco) and Saigon Beer-Alcohol-Beverage Corporation (Sabeco), and ensure that it is complete before December 1.-VNA
