SASAC vows to rectify 鈥榸ombie鈥 firms
Print Edition
CHINA’S top state-owned asset administrator has vowed to clean-up the country’s so-called “zombie” industrial companies by 2020, the official Xinhua News Agency has reported.
Zhang Yi, chairman of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, told a central and local enterprise work conference at the weekend that SASAC will “basically” resolve the problem of unproductive “zombie” firms over the next three years.
Dealing with “zombie companies” is very difficult, Zhang said, according to the report, but “officials need to... use today’s ‘small tremors’ to prevent a future earthquake.”
The central government last September rolled out the most ambitious reform program in two decades to resolve the problems at its hugely inefficient public sector companies, encouraging the greater use of “mixed ownership” while promoting more mergers to create globally-competitive conglomerates.
Zhang Xiwu, deputy head of SASAC, told a news briefing at the time that China would work to reorganize state firms to centralize state-owned capital in key industries, while restricting investment in industries not in line with national policies.
Zhang said China would sell the assets of low performing state-owned enterprises on stock exchanges, property exchanges and other capital markets.
Profits at China’s SOEs shed 9.5 percent in the first 11 months of 2015 from a year earlier, led by profits at SASAC-controled firms, which fell 10.4 percent, the Ministry of Finance said in December.
On Friday, SASAC told state media that 99 of the 106 SASAC-controled SOEs were profitable in 2015.
