ADOPTED BY PARLIAMENT
The Ordinance on State Assets Management Strategy (Strategy) was adopted by the National Assembly of the Republic of Slovenia in July 2015, stipulating the definition of state assets and their classification into individual types of assets (portfolio, important and strategic assets), and determining the development policies of the Republic of Slovenia in the role of a shareholder of companies together with individual strategic objectives pursued by the Republic of Slovenia in regard to each asset classified as strategic asset.
In accordance with the classification of assets into portfolio, important and strategic assets, and as it results from the Strategy, portfolio assets planned to be sold in an individual year are determined in each Asset Management Annual Plan.
Goals in managing individual capital assets
In accordance with ZSDH-1, as regards managing capital assets, goals differ according to the classification of a company and state assets in strategic, important or portfolio assets. Fundamental goals in asset management are as follows:
- Strategic goals: realising important social interest such as providing the relevant level and accessibility of infrastructure, rendering public services, ensuring security objectives, development objectives and realising other significant social interest;
- Development goals: maintaining key development functions in Slovenia;
- Economic goals: maximizing the value of assets and generating the highest return possible for the owner.
In regard to the above mentioned fundamental goals in asset management, capital assets are classified into three fundamental groups of assets, specifically:
- Strategic assets are assets in regard to which strategic and economic goals are pursued. Under Article 14, Paragraph 1 of ZSDH-1, the minimum stake to be kept in companies classified as strategic is 50% plus one vote.
- Important assets are assets in regard to which development and economic goals are pursued. Under Article 14, Paragraph 2 of ZSDH-1, the minimum stake to be kept in companies classified as important is 25% plus one vote.
- Portfolio assets are assets in regard to which solely economic goals are pursued. SSH may freely dispose of portfolio assets.
