The Government finalised its new ownership steering policy at the meeting of the Ministerial Committee on Economic Policy held on 12 May. The new Government Resolution on Ownership Steering Policy is to be adopted at the plenary session on Friday, 13 May.

The vision declared in the Government Programme obliges us to use state ownership as a tool for active reform of Finnish society. Capital reserves need to be put to more efficient use, and current holdings need to be managed more actively. It’s imperative that we generate new economic activity in this country. Let’s put the balance sheets to work. 

— Prime Minister Juha Sipilä
