Gyurcsány said that lottery company Szerencsejátek, Hungarian electricity works MVM, postal service Magyar Posta and the state motorway management company ÁAK could be among the state-owned companies to be listed at the Budapest Stock Exchange.
Speaking during a Wednesday-morning television program, Gyurcsány said that the state-owned Volán bus companies are not among the frims whose shares the government might float on the BSE as part of a program announced on February 18.
The prime minister added that the government’s current plan would stipulate a 10%-15% preference and a Ft 1 million limit per individual on the purchase of the shares of state-owned companies to be included in the program. Gyurcsány said that 5% of the price of the shares would have to be paid at the time of their subscription. (MTI-Econews)
