China to carry out SOE consolidation plan
(Xinhua)
Updated: 2009-03-03 21:51 China will build an asset management company to accelerate restructuring of smaller State-owned enterprises (SOEs), an official with the State Council, China's Cabinet, told Xinhua Tuesday. The official with the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) of the State Council said the company would merge some smaller and underperforming SOEs controlled by the central government. Those mergers would help achieve the target of cutting the number of SOEs to between 80 and 100 and cultivating 30 to 50 large, globally competitive entities by the end of 2010. The list of SOEs involved and other details were under discussion, he said.
The SASAC has so far established two state asset management companies, the State Development and Investment Corp and China Chengtong Group. They have played a positive role in restructuring SOEs, but their contributions were limited as they themselves were SOEs, said experts. Last year, the SOEs posted profits of 665.29 billion yuan (about $95 billion) despite serious natural disasters and the worsening global financial crisis. Centrally controlled SOEs were required as of 2007 to pay 5 percent to 10 percent of earnings as dividends, depending on their industries. (For more biz stories, please visit Industries)
