They earned over 15.8 trillion VND (695.3 million USD) for the State coffer from sale of their investment.
The State Capital Investment Corporation (SCIC) sold nearly 1.4 trillion VND (61.4 million USD) worth of stakes in 21 SOEs, earning over 12.2 trillion VND (538.5 million USD). The amount included 5.4 percent of its total shares in Vietnam Dairy Products JSC (Vinamilk) that were sold for more than 11.3 trillion VND (496.6 million USD).
Seven SOEs have had their equitisation plans approved in August.
So far, equitisation plans of 33 SOEs have been approved in the first eight months of this year, with total real state capital in those enterprises worth approximately 20.9 trillion VND (918.7 million USD).
The Ministry of Finance recommended the government to assign the Ministry of Industry and Trade to fast-track the divestment of state ownership at top brewers Habeco and Sabeco this year. If divestment announcements are not released before September 30, the ownership’s right over the State capital in the two firms should be transferred to SCIC to ensure the pace of divestment, it proposed.-VNA
