Beijing
CHINA is preparing to overhaul its bloated and inefficient state-run companies to bolster an economy forecast to grow at the slowest pace in more than two decades, according to people familiar with the matter.
The proposal would include consolidation and reduction of the government's role in state-owned enterprises (SOEs) by stripping ownership stakes from the agency that regulates them, the people said. The plan, which could be released as soon as this month, calls for bundling the companies by industry and handing their control to state asset-management firms, the people said, asking not to be identified because the talks were private.
