The Viet Nam Steel Corporation plans to withdraw capital from non-core
businesses as part of an approved restructuring plan, according to a
corporation official.
For the last three years, most State-owned enterprises (SOEs) have had
stable operations with acceptable profits, but capital withdrawal from
their non-core businesses contiues to be sluggish.
A draft regulation about allowing State-owned enterprises (SOEs) to sell
stakes in non-core businesses at below the face value would be
presented to the Prime Minister for approval.
Several State-owned enterprises (SOEs) are facing difficulties
withdrawing their investment from non-core businesses, even though this
September is the deadline for them to do so.
Electricity of Viet Nam (EVN) is withdrawing its capital from several
non-core businesses, especially in banking and real estate sectors, it
said in a report released yesterday.
