The Ljubljana Stock Exchange (LJSE) hosted the Slovenian Capital Markets Day at the London Stock Exchange on Friday to introduce six leading Slovenian companies to London's investment community and present the latest developments on the Slovenian capital markets.
The roadshow includes drug maker Krka, household appliance maker Gorenje, retailer Mercator, hardware trader Merkur, seaport operator Luka Koper and food company Droga Kolinska in what is their first organised presentation to the international investment community.
Finance Minister Andrej Bajuk and Joze P. Damijan, the head of the government's reform committee, also spoke at the event, outlining the macroeconomic prospects of Slovenia, new economic reforms and privatisation plans.
They presented details of the government's economic reform package, including the second wave of privatisation. In 2006, the state plans to sell several companies in which it acts as the majority owner, including telco Telekom Slovenije, the biggest banks (NLB and NKBM) and insurer Zavarovalnica Triglav.
Representatives of the state-run Pension Fund Management (KAD) and Restitution Fund (SOD) outlined the details of their planned withdrawal from the ownership of Slovenina companies, of which they currently hold an average 20%.
According to the LJSE, the release of their stake will considerably increase the volume of shares available to portfolio investors.
