An official from the bank said in a call with Newspim on the 27th, “The report is completely untrue” and “I have not proposed this to the government nor have reviewed the plan.” He added, “We will distribute official clarification materials soon.”
Earlier that afternoon, a media reported that HMM’s largest shareholder, Saneun, is promoting privatization by handing over all of its shares to Forsk. KDB is the largest shareholder with a 12.61% stake in HMM.
