MORE THAN 980 STATE-OWNED COMPANIES IDENTIFIED

The registry of State-Owned Companies (EPE) amounts to 989 entities. The latest review carried out by Transparencia Venezuela allowed the incorporation of companies dependent on the governorates, companies domiciled outside of Venezuela and those in which the Venezuelan State participates even without having a majority shareholding.

The information indicates that of the identified SOEs, 645 are in the hands of the national Executive based in Venezuela, 115 are located outside the country, 225 are in the hands of the governorates and 4 are under the administration of mayors. Likewise, the registry indicated that there are at least 23 companies in which the Venezuelan State has a minority stake. The database includes companies that are closed, sold or in the process of liquidation since it is considered that this information could be useful for research work.

The latest update of the database of EPE also includes the registry of companies that have closed, been sold or are in the process of liquidation.

The SOE registry includes: name of the company, sector to which they belong, objectives, goods and services they offer, how they were created, their background, data on their creation, type of ownership and legal form, affiliated body, budgetary and employment information, data on the boards of directors, shareholding and, in other companies, participation in social programs or missions, public complaints of corruption, bad practices and inefficient management, sources of information used and commercial allies from other countries.
