Alexander Paraschiy: The SPF’s plan is to decrease their stake to 60% in the companies where the state has a large stake, and to completely privatize those companies where the state has less than a 40% stake. We estimate SPF can earn about USD 250 mln from privatization. Since the state plans to retain a 60% stake; it means the government believes the President will veto the law decreasing quorum at shareholder meetings from 60% to 50%, which was adopted in the last week.
