WHAT DOES PUBLIC OWNERSHIP MEAN IN ENGLISH?

State ownership

State ownership, also called public ownership, government ownership or state property, are property interests that are vested in the state, rather than an individual or private entity. State ownership may refer to state ownership or control of any asset, industry, or enterprise at any level, national, regional or local; or to common non-state ownership. The process of bringing an asset into public ownership is called nationalization or municipalization. In primarily market-based economies, government-owned assets are often managed and run like joint-stock corporations with the government owning a controlling stake of the shares. This model is often referred to as a state-owned enterprise. A government-owned corporation may resemble a not-for-profit corporation as it may not be required to generate a profit. Governments may also use profitable entities they own to support the general budget. SOE's may or may not be expected to operate in a broadly commercial manner and may or may not have monopolies in their areas of activity. The creation of a government-owned corporation from other forms of government ownership may be a precursor to privatization.
