Brest region government puts up shares in 20 enterprises for auction

 The Brest region government will put up its shares in 20 enterprises for an auction on November 19. The lots include the Pinsk and Ivatsevichi Flax Mills and the Beryoza Engine Repair Factory.
On the same day, the regional government will be selling at competition shares in a car repair shop in Stolin, a canned food factory in Zagorsk, a Brest-based garment factory and a Kobrin-based furniture factory. These enterprises are reported to be facing severe shortages of working capital and need investment.
The regional government plans to auction off 24 enterprises this year. Half of them are located in the Free Economic Zone "Brest".
