Russia's bullish prospects

Article Abstract:

The Russian government expects to gain revenues of $890 million from privatisations in 1997. It is shortly to establish terms of sale for five important companies, but no timetable has been set yet for the actual sell-offs. The most significant privatisations will involve telecoms holding concern Svyazinvest, oil companies LUKoil and Slavneft, national power concern United Energy System and insurance firm Rosgosstrakh. The Federal Property Fund is to sell 50% of the shares in Rosgosstrakh at a cash auction, while 25% of Svyazinvest will be sold to foreign investors.
