"We are going to propose a 'large privatization' initiative. We believe that now is the right time to revisit this issue in 2025. New strategies for the development of state-owned companies must be approved to enhance their role in achieving national goals,” - said Finance Minister Anton Siluanov at the meeting with Russia’s Federal Agency for State Property Management.
