KIEV. 16 Feb. UNN. Among the objects of the first large-scale privatization plan to sell HMO, because its value becomes less day by day. This broadcast “5 channel” said Deputy Minister of economic development and trade of Ukraine Maksim Nefedov, reports UNN.
“Large privatization is a complex story. We do not have “easy” businesses that are easy to sell. All of these companies, as a rule, are unprofitable, have debts and poor management. Each of them is a unique situation, but those that can go the first is the Odessa portside plant, because it only loses value,” said Nefedov.
According to him, the plant had not wanted to sell it for 750 million dollars waiting for 1 billion dollars. Now, I hope that it will be able to sell at least for 10 times less money.
“It’s hard to give a specific figure, because he rarely worked for the last year, this debt is only growing. I hope, of course, for a large sum, but the task is much more likely to find the effective investor who will run the plant and create jobs,” – noted first Deputy Minister of economic development.
Nefedov added that investors interested in the HMO, and “Centrenergo” and “Turboatom” and “Energotehmash” and the Ukrainian energy sector, and packages of Ukrainian banks, such as “Ukrgasbank”.
“But the question that they need to properly prepare for selling and validating this process. If it gets passed, then we have a pretty good chance to fulfill the privatization plan (UAH 22.5 billion)”, he said.
We will remind, in the Ministry consider that Energoatom should be corporatized and turned into public joint-stock company.
