he "Kompanyon" reports that State Property Fund has defined the 43 companies that are to be sold next year. The deal will bring UAHR 9 billion in revenues. "Ukrtelecom" is the most costly project that is expected to turn out in 3,3 billion UAHR after 49,9% of the shares are sold. Thus it will account for the third of the total privatization revenues.
