The Indonesian government is planning to offload holdings in four state-controlled firms, including telecoms equipment maker Industri Telekomunikasi Indonesia, or Inti, according to Hatta Rajasa, the coordinating minister for the country’s economic affairs.
Inti, which makes fibre optic cables and mobile handsets, are among the companies for which public share offerings are being planned. The move is aimed at enhancing transparency and improving the companies’ financial results.
According to Investor Daily, Hatta said: “All the money raised by the privatised companies would go to support the companies’ financial structure, not for the state treasury. It’s all for the sake of the companies’ health.” GTB
