Lack of Domestic Interest in NLB Shares Because of High Price, Daily Suggests

Ljubljana, 23 October - The second phase of the Nova Ljubljanska banka (NLB) privatisation has proved a total marketing disaster for the government. Under the pressure of public and business circles the government was going to give domestic investors, by means of a supplementary privatisation programme, the chance to enter NLB in line with "national interests". But lately, domestic investors have shown interest in only 0.3 percent of NLB shares, says Wednesday's edition the daily Delo.
