Government proposes partial privatisation of VR

The Finnish government has submitted a proposal for the partial privatisation of several state-owned companies, including the state railway VR. The state is to remain the majority owner with at least 50.1% of the shares. The sale could generate up to €4 billion, which would be used for investments. The final decision lies with the parliament.
