  "account": "State Capital Investment Corporation (SCIC) is set to fully divest its holdings in various key sectors, including industrial manufacturing, steel, textiles, energy, construction, logistics, trade, and seafood. Notable companies in SCIC's portfolio include Tien Phong Plastic JSC, Domesco Medical Import Export Corporation, Vietnam Steel Corporation, and Vietnam National Seaproducts Corporation. The state-owned enterprises are categorized into three groups based on the level of state ownership. Once ownership limits for each sector are established, investors can more easily identify enterprises where state capital can be increased or reduced. Many of the 66 companies slated for full divestment possess valuable assets such as land banks, strong market positions, or high state ownership ratios. SCIC plans to retain stakes in 21 companies operating in strategic sectors, including manufacturing, infrastructure, technology, and healthcare. The company aims to mobilize resources for economic development and comply with policy changes, potentially leading to a new wave of IPOs, equitisation, and share auctions in the market.",
