The
Ukrainian government has instructed the State Property Fund to prepare a
strategy for the establishment of state holdings comprising state-owned
enterprises that are not subject to privatization, according to the
government's press service referring to Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk.
"The
Cabinet [of Ministers] has decided to introduce practices of audit reporting at
all state-owned enterprises. The audit will be conducted by the Big Four audit
firms," the press service quoted Yatsenyuk as saying at a meeting of the
National Reform Council.
"The
State Property Fund was instructed to prepare a strategy for the establishment
of state holdings with complete withdrawal of management of state-owned property
from the ministers' control. The president and the government supported this
decision," he said.
How many
such holdings will be created is under discussion now.
"We
adhere to an approach when a separate branch of industry will have its own
specialized holding. The main question is whether we will set up a single state
holding on top of them to manage all the rest," Yatsenyuk said, adding
there could be from three to seven such holding clusters.
As UNIAN
reported earlier, the Ukrainian premier previously noted that the Cabinet
had been actively exploring the idea of bringing state-owned companies outside
the ministries' control and combining them into seven holdings.
