Hanoi ranks second in Vietnam, just after HCMC, in terms of the number of enterprises restructured by the State from now to 2020.
The State will keep its ownership ratios unchanged in four enterprises, namely Ha Noi Housing Management and Development; the Capital Lottery Company, the Hanoi Railway Corporation and the Hanoi Publishing House Company.
The remaining 15 companies will undergo equitization, under which shares will be sold to investors. The State will still hold the controlling stakes (from 50 percent to less than 65 percent) in three companies – the Hanoi Park Greenery Company, Thong Nhat Park and Hanoi Zoo.
In other 12 companies, the state’s ownership ratio will reduce to below 50 percent. These include a lot of ‘shining’ names such as Hanoi Transerco (transport), Hanoi Tourist (travel firms), UDIC (infrastructure developer) and Hawacom (water supply).
Being a big player in the tourism sector, Hanoitourist shares would be a valuable investment.
The government has released a list of 19 enterprises in Hanoi and the proportion of the state’s ownership stake in them. |
