According to Vuong Thai Dung, deputy general director of Petrolimex, the company plans to auction more than 27 million shares to the public equivalent to 2.56 per cent of its charter capital.

Dung said the state of the stock market would not negatively affect Petrolimex's initial public offering (IPO) plan, noting that the Prime Minister had approved Petrolimex's equitisation scheme, including the method of deciding the price at auction.

After the equitisation, Petrolimex will have a charter capital of VND10.5 trillion ($519.4 million), of which the State will retain 94.99 per cent.
