He announced this in his article for the magazine "Company".
“The public sector can play an important and positive role at times, but it is time for it to start shrinking.
There is no “special way” in this situation - state-owned companies rarely become economic and innovative drivers, ”Kudrin said.
He drew attention to the fact that in the rating of the ten largest Russian companies, only four are private.
The head of the Accounts Chamber explained that most domestic companies with state participation are less flexible in management, since they depend on the bureaucratic machine, and the board of directors often includes officials.
“Moreover, as the audit of the Accounts Chamber showed, among them there are real“ multi-managers ”representing the interests of the state in 20 or more companies at the same time!”
- he noted.
According to Kudrin, this negatively affects the speed of decision-making and the setting of breakthrough goals.
“The situation can be changed by privatization, which will give enterprises effective owners.
This will have a positive effect not only on the results of individual organizations, but will also increase the efficiency of the economy as a whole, ”the publication says.
The head of the Accounts Chamber of Russia said earlier that the public sector should be less in economic sectors: only that which is difficult to undergo market processes should remain in state ownership.
