Breakdown of State ownership

State shareholdings are divided according to the basis for ownership into three different categories: finance interest, strategic interest and special assignment.

Finance interest means that the State has exclusively, or almost exclusively, a strong investor interest in the company.

Strategic interest means that in addition to investor interests, there are other interests that make it advisable for the State to remain in a strong ownership position for the time being.

Special assignment companies are companies that have a state-defined political or other mission related to business and industry or society, or some other special role.

Companies owned by the State

 

Majority-owned and minority-owned companies

A state majority-owned company is a company in which the State holds a majority of the votes. 

Minority-owned companies are companies in which the State holds less than 50 per cent of shares and voting rights conferred by shares.
