At the first stage of privatization, 30 distilleries, which are part of the state enterprise Ukrspirt, will be put up for auction. Prime Minister Denis Shmygal wrote about this on his Facebook page.
He noted that the state enterprise “Ukrspirt” in previous years was “synonymous with multibillion-dollar corruption”.
“According to the estimates of the State Property Fund through shadow schemes in the alcohol industry, the budget annually receives less than UAH 8-10 billion. Now this is over. Last year, parliament passed a law that demonopolized alcohol production, and this week a historic event took place – the privatization of the first distillery in Nemyriv. The final price turned out to be UAH 5 million more than the starting price, and the main thing is that the asset was acquired by a profile investor”, – the prime minister wrote.
According to him, this means additional investments in the enterprise, and as a result – an increase in the number of jobs and income to the community budget.
“In general, at the first stage of privatization, 30 distilleries, which are part of the state enterprise Ukrspirt, will be put up for auction”, – Shmyhal summed up.
