Enterprises to be sold off are in industries ranging from food to construction and consumer markets.
They include four hotels, an exhibition center in the capital Tallinn and a producer of aircraft flight recorders and consumer electronics components in the city of Tartu, which was a key supplier to the Soviet aircraft manufacturing industry.
The closing date for the sell-off tender is Dec. 22, the agency said. It also said it would sell minority stakes in 16 other enterprises.
The companies will be sold for cash at open investment tenders.
Most of the enterprises will be sold off completely, but the state will retain minority stakes in some of them to sell to the public.
Estonia is selling a number of larger enterprises through international tenders in a system modelled on the one used by Germany to sell off former East Germany's industry.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
