Hanoi (VNA) -
Vinacomin Power Holding Corporation Limited, a State-owned subsidiary of Vietnam National Coal and Mineral Industries Group (Vinacomin), will debut 680 million shares on the Unlisted Public Company Market (UPCoM) on December 15.

This was announced by the Hanoi Stock Exchange.

Ending September 2016, Vinacomin Power reported a loss of 228 billion VND, lifting its cumulative losses to 1.14 trillion VND.

Its equity capital was nearly 5.8 trillion VND and total asset value reached 26.4 trillion VND.
