Russia's Transneft put forward for 2020-2022 privatisation programme

Russia's finance ministry would like to make Transneft, Russian Railways, Aeroflot, Rosseti and Rushydro part of the 2020-2022 national privatization program, a ministry official said on Wednesday.

Russia's finance ministry would like the government's stakes in these companies to be reduced to 50% plus one share, Deputy Finance Minister Alexei Moiseev said.

Pipeline monopoly Transneft and Russian Railways would be privatized no earlier than in 2021, he said.
