Summary/Abstract: On December 21, 2022, in Ștefan Vodă, the Government crossed the Rubicon and approved the "Strategy regarding the administration of state property in the field of state enterprises and commercial companies with full or majority state capital for the years 2022-2030" (state property strategy). The document marks the achievement of an important commitment assumed as a candidate country for the EU and eliminates the biggest non-conformities reported in the reports of the World Bank (2017) and the IMF (2022) regarding the sector of state companies. Although the approval of the state ownership strategy is an important milestone, at least as relevant is the fulfillment of the commitments made in this document. In this context, the commentary focuses on the actions planned for the year 2023. The relevance of monitoring the implementation of these actions lies in the fact that they will testify to the sincerity of the Government and governance as a whole, with reference to the reform of the state companies sector and the administration of public property. This commentary explains how the planned actions, if carried out, can contribute to reducing the risks of corruption and maximizing the public benefit by: i) rationalizing the presence of the state in the economy; ii) strengthening the capacity of the state to administer public property; iii) and improving governance and transparency.
