  • State-Owned Enterprises
    STATE-OWNED ENTERPRISES- DO THE ENDS JUSTIFY THE MEANS? PreparedFor RONCO Consulting Corporation Analysis of Corporate Sector Constraints In Agriculture (ACSCA) Project PreparedBy Constance R. Church, C.P.A. Financial Analyst RONCO Consulting Corporation November 15, 1990 Islamabad, Pakistan The analysis on which this report is based is supported by the United States Agency for International Development under contract number 391-0470-C-00-9265-00 FOREWORD In the course of doing financial analysis on various agro-industries for the Analysis of Corporate Sector Constraints in Agriculture project undertaken by RONCO Consulting Corporation, in cooperation with Agri-Bi-Con International (Private) Ltd., under contract with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), time and again I came across statements about the profits which Pakistani state-owned enterprises were making. Articles in the national press, often based on government press releases, would mention profits of XX million rupees for a given enterprise. Letters to shareholders from the Chairman of the Board in annual reports often gave rosy pictures of how the company was doing. Seldom mentioned was how much the government, the primary if not sole shareholder in these enterprises, had invested, either directly as equity or indirectly in loans and subsidies to the company or to its state-owned suppliers. Without the benchmark of total investment, the absolute numbers were meaningless. Thus was born the idea to analyze how state-owned enterprises are faring relative to capital invested and to compare their results with those of private companies in the same industries. The goal was to find out if running the myriad of state-owned enterprises which Pakistan has is an efficient means to providing goods and services or if the many state­ owned enterprises are a luxury which Pakistan can ill afford.
