  • Pursuant to Article 29, Paragraph 1 of the Slovenian Sovereign Holding Act (Official Gazette of RS, No
    Pursuant to Article 29, Paragraph 1 of the Slovenian Sovereign Holding Act (Official Gazette of RS, No. 25/14) and Article 108, Paragraph 3 of the Rules of Procedure of the National Assembly of the Republic of Slovenia (Official Gazette RS Nos. 92/07 - official consolidated text, 105/10 and 80/13), at the session held on 13 July 2015, the National Assembly adopted the ORDINANCE On State Assets Management Strategy (OdSUKND) INTRODUCTION (1) The Republic of Slovenia is an important owner of assets in enterprises which have been generated by past generations. These are assets which, following the privatization process, have remained in partial or full state ownership and they present the basis for the State to perform its key functions for the provision of infrastructural tasks and a coordinated promotion of a balanced and sustainable economic development and to implement other strategic goals. The State Assets Management Strategy (hereinafter referred to as: the "Asset Management Strategy" or the “Strategy”) pursues the goals of individual sectoral strategies. The main goal is to pursue a stable, balanced and sustainable economic development, thus providing for the stable long-term well-being of inhabitants of the Republic of Slovenia. (2) The Asset Management Strategy is a fundamental document of the State which represents the basic tool for an active state ownership with which the State communicates its goals to the state assets manager, to shareholders, the broader capital markets and the general public. A clearly defined ownership policy eliminates the need for the Government to interfere with current affairs in regard with the management of the state-owned enterprises (SOEs) since the performance of asset management is measured periodically, by benchmarking the performance against the goals set in advance; the Government of the Republic of Slovenia (hereinafter referred to as: the "Government"), as the holder of the corporate rights, adopts its decisions on the basis of such performance results.
