In Russia, more than 800 companies have been transferred to state ownership through courts , reported the head of Rosimushchestvo, Vadim Yakovnenko, at a departmental board meeting. “According to my recollection, about 805 companies have been transferred to the state’s ownership,” he said. According to him, the number of such assets is increasing every day. Rosimushchestvo promises to put 90% of the nationalized assets into circulation within a year.
The increase in nationalization is happening against the backdrop of a slowing economy and the search for additional sources of budget revenue. At the Economic Ministry’s board meeting, it was noted that GDP increased by 1% in 2025, and a figure of 1.3% is planned for 2026. Analysts from the Institute of National Economy of the Russian Academy of Sciences expect near-zero dynamics in the first half of the year. By selling such assets, the authorities want to replenish the budget – the plan is to receive 100 billion rubles. The most significant transactions for further privatization include the sale of assets of the companies “Makfa” (22.4 billion rubles), “Kuban-Vino” (19.9 billion rubles) and the Bashkir Soda Company (17.4 billion rubles) (The Moscow Times).
