The Russian government supports the further privatization of state assets, provided they are not sold off too cheaply, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday. The head of Russia’s central bank, Elvira Nabiullina, earlier spoke in favor of privatization.
Peskov said that the topic is “indeed always on [the government’s] agenda,” but added that there are certain industries which cannot be managed effectively by businesses.
The spokesman noted that experts should be consulted in each case before a specific asset is privatized.
