The state continues to reduce its presence in the economy by selling its shares online. From the beginning of October, blocks of shares in five Tashkent-based companies were sold at the E-ijro online auction, Spot writes with reference to the Agency for State Assets Management.

At the beginning of the year, it was noted that the state was leaving the alcohol, distillery and wine industries. As part of this process, LLC “Faiz sharob savdo”, LLC “M. Ulugbek tuman hududiy ixtisoslashgan sharob-savdo bazasi” and LLC “Uchtepa sharob savdo” were sold at the online auction. The state share was 100% in all of them. The packages were sold for 353 million soums, 253 million soums and 4 billion soums, respectively.

A 100% stake in the dental clinic No.4 was sold for 2.5 billion soums. A 17.5% stake in the JV LLC “Bezak” was sold for 1.1 billion soums. Buyers were both individuals and legal entities. Earlier, the agency noted that the offered lots are essentially ready-made businesses.

Now about 10 state assets are on sale, including the former “Chorsu” hotel and a shopping center on the “Broadway”.
