First among the objects of large-scale privatization will be the sale of the Odessa portside plant.

About this on air of channel 5 said the first Deputy Minister of economic development and trade Maxim nefodov.

“Large privatization is a complex story. We do not have “easy” businesses that are easy to sell. All of these companies, as a rule, are unprofitable, have debts and poor management. Each of them is a unique situation, but those that can go the first is the Odessa portside plant, because it only loses value,” said the official.

According to him, the plant had not wanted to sell it for 750 million dollars waiting for 1 billion dollars. Now, I hope that it will be able to sell at least amount 10 times less.

“It’s hard to give a specific figure, because he rarely worked for the last year, this debt is only growing. I hope, of course, for a large sum, but the task is much more likely to find the effective investor who will run the plant and create jobs,” – said the first Deputy Minister of economic development.
