Half of the net profit made by the state-owned companies and joint stock companies with complete or majority state capital in 2014 will be transferred to the state budget, no matter whether these economic entities can be privatized or not, IPN reports, quoting a Government decision.
The Ministry of Finance, which put forward the draft decision, explained that the state, as the owner or majority shareholder of companies with state capital, must unconditionally benefit from a part of the profit made by these entities, in the form of dividends or deductions, given the economic and financial situation in the country, the decline in exports following the lower demand on the foreign markets and the regional crisis with direct impact on the investment climate of Moldova.
According to officials of the Ministry, solutions must be identified to accumulate the budget resources needed to finance the tasks undertaken by the Government and to maintain the macroeconomic stability of the state.
