Until December 31, 2027, the alienation of shares held by the state in national companies and societies, in credit institutions, as well as in any other company in which the state is a shareholder, regardless of the share capital held, will be prohibited or suspended, according to the project initiated by the Social Democratic Party (PSD) amended by the far-right AUR, and adopted by Parliament, through the final vote of the deputies on May 27. The text passed by the deputies sweetens the initial provision, allowing participation of private investors in capital increases by issuance of new shares, and excepting loss-making companies from the scope of the bill.
The law was criticised by centre-right bloc PNL-USR for interfering with Romania’s commitments under RRF and PNRR, for the restructuring of state-owned enterprises (SOEs).
