The state-run companies and commercial organizations where the state holds all or most of the shares will be able to use the financial resources obtained from leasing out assets that are not used in production for paying the overdue taxes into the state budget and overdue salaries to employees. Such provisions are contained in the proposal for amending the regulations concerning the leasing out of unused assets approved by the Government, IPN reports.

The Ministry of Economy, which submitted the proposal, considers that if the overdue salaries are paid with this money, the social tensions created in connection with the salary arrears at some of the companies will be reduced.

The unused assets could also be leased out by state-run companies or companies with state capital that work within industrial parks, but the leases will be signed for a period that will not exceed the period of activity of the park. The state institutions will be able to rent unused assets free of charge.

After the overdue taxes and salaries are paid, the remaining money will be used to develop the given companies.
