State may sell part of VTB shares

VTB may become one of the state-owned companies whose shares will be sold by the government, sources told Frank Media. Both the sale of the stake to a strategist and the placement of state-owned shares on the stock exchange are being discussed. Sources of the publication do not say what exactly VTB shares are planned to be sold, but one of them says that the state will not reduce its share below the controlling one - 50% plus 1 share. At present, Rosimushchestvo owns 61.8% ordinary shares.
